Flatbed rates owner ops

Maybe rather than acting like a dilettante, you should work on your comprehension. I was stating that a step deck has more versatility than a flat. Of course hauling containers isnt lucrative, but I'd rather have the option rather than not have the ability. If you aren't here to help, then go piss in your own cereal.

 

Hahaha... I know its sarcasm, but it's still funny AF. I'd love to go back and punch myself in the face for buying this w9..

 

And let's not forget the contribution to tow companies, mechanics and the government from all the catastrophic failures and tickets!! I like to help where I can!

 

Why do you want versatility to haul freight that’s not lucrative. Sometimes a step will hurt you more than help. You where told that already, but you don’t want to examine that possibility. You want container locks and ramps. You and ever other Tom, Dick, and Harry. The demand for that type of trailer has not kept up capacity. Go ahead, be another horse before the cart guy. Lords knows you have plenty of company.

 

I had steps with container locks(came with it). They also had ramp. I used the locks exactly once in 4 years. I used the ramp less than 6 times. I traded them both for flats. You can get a load for a flat twice as fast and I can get with in a nickel per mile quite often paying better.

 

Every other tom, dick, and harry doesn't have ramps. I've seen maybe a dozen trucks with them in the last 6 months. There are tons of people that will pull a max weight load out of miami for 60cpm. That doesn't mean I'm going to. I appreciate the opinion you are sharing, but your business plan isnt my business plan. And your experiences aren't everyone's experiences. I know several people personally that pull steps and use their ramps anywhere from 1x a month to 1x a week.

 

Ok Hurst

 

I’m not wanting to be a dick. I’m just pointing out my experience with the equipment you want. You said yourself it should work in theory. I’m telling you that in practice it’s a waste of money. You can get sore about it, but in time you’ll come to the same conclusion

 

Ouch!

 

Really?

Let me guess, you've already run over a few cars because you cant see over the hood?
