    Yup - maybe 6” and the goofy steering - front or back or crab - the stupid things wander like crazy and the tires are incredibly expensive. Had a buddy have to buy one

    So how much blocking is required to load it? I would imagine it would high center.

    At the factory they load them with steel ramps that are about 12’ long

    I will have to buy 12-14 2x8x8 and screw them together to make ramp extensions to walk it off. This one and its twin are headed for port hueneme and they won’t unload it - it makes it a challenge to walk off and check clearance and such. Otherwise the are gravy loads.

    my buddy that hauls them all the time uses a set of old aluminum step deck ramps and some blocking underneath to get the right angle

    they are low enough you can’t load them on a drop side with laying down boards to build up

    Maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of a Boeing 787 is over 500,000 lbs and an Airbus A380 is almost 1.3 million lbs. They need a lot of heft to move them.

    you sir are broken and can barely lift the spoon to sip your broth....

    actually I can tell you a secret - you could now likely haul it to the California line but not one inch farther
