    Is it 53'? I was honestly asking. Is it an optical illusion because the tank is smaller than the frame itself?

    I really don't know for sure. He said definitely no doubles. When I asked about length. He hesitated then answered. Might have been guessing. I'm not worried. It's long enough, that's for sure.
    Here's another pic for you.

    I was assuming recruiter ignorance, but as always, I may be the ignorant one since I've never pulled them.

    It's hard to judge from a picture, but I'd guess 45 or 48' based on the tandems being all the way at the rear of those trailers. They'd never be able to navigate tight areas and city streets if they were stretched out like a 53' van with the tandems slid back.

    Make sure you ask about detention pay. A lot of times, you'll get $30-60/ hour after the first 1 or 2 hours of waiting to load/ unload.

    And have fun.

    And the best part is. It's taking 34's at home. I could take more if I want. That's more than plenty for me.
