    You would think Panther would put in 300 gallon tanks instead of rinky dinky tiny thimbles there.

    i have to wonder if it's one of 2 things, or both..

    1) weight issue, to keep the entire rig under a certain weight at all times

    2) accident clean up time/cost in case of a roll over or other fuel tank busting event?

    It’s obviously suggestive that the OP isn’t a good fit for flatbed.
    Try Reefer Madness.

    But lots of drivers were fired or quit from a lot of companies and succeeded elsewhere. And a lot of drivers hated a company and quit and then a lot of drivers loved that same company.

    argh.

    Add a steerable axle under there, throw the tanks on there and load the box heavy, cut the sleeper in half. It's like a wasteful double apartment back there. Add more box for cargo. Put a tag ahead of the drives. Done. (Either second steer axle or tag. I lean towards tag.

    Hazmat clean up is already going to smash the company nuts and shave the panther fur clear down anyway.

    I walked, quit, fired argued or stormed at stupid bosses in many companies.

    Find success elsewhere with some very good people. Medicine with McKesson is one example. Almost like I travel 40 years in the wilderness enduring the poo flung by management everywhere in failed companies when they finally sunk. Only to find success for myself. If only for a while.

    If I reincanated and am 21 again, Im straight to McKesson, eliminate all the BS of live load, live dock, abuses of waiting for same and BS fly by night companies etc.
