Where is everyone #5

Sitting at Jubitz in this shathole known as Portland, waiting to renew my fingerprints and background check. Then DOT physical time.

 

My lowboy has 3 lights on each side in the rear. The center light is brake / turn on both sides....

 

What's the tare weight on your rig if you don't mind me ask'n.?
Around 50k lbs be my guess..

 

Put 4 on the trailer 2 weeks ago. Now 2 steers. 8 drive tires in the next 2 months

 

I agree. I leave my stuff on the floor and just chain my racks in place... I never don't need them. I was just adding the step of closing the binders up because I knew he had an open flat.

That sure sounds like a great idea for hanging binders on a stake. I may have to steal that! Another thing I do is put a hook from a bungee over the to of my boards on the passenger side. Then I hang chains on them so that once the coil is set in the rack, I just grab the chain and toss it.

 

51200......53000 with spreader bar attached.

 

I get paid percentage. Its a whole different game than the one you guys play though. Most of my trips are only 10 miles or so. If I take a 'road load' that goes like 75 miles, I'm looking for lunch and a nap before I make it back!

On the other side of it though, a lot of the stuff I do works out to be like $10/mi and up. Now THAT sounds impressive

 

Or a trip to emergency room for stitches in yer noggin in Kansas on a rainy day !! And the cab ride back on three tires !!!!

 

sounds like your spreader bar needs a girdle!

I hear a bit of experience talking here!

 

I really dont like peaches by themself.....but throw them on cottage cheese and pepper and it makes them taste like butterscotch.
