    Wish I had a better picture on my phone, but this will have to do. To the staff, I am not trying to recruit. Here is one of my relatives flatbed. Screenshot_20200905-154927.png
    Now, it's everything that you guys across the pond seem to dislike. Long, shiny, and lot of arch. Hauls mainly steel coils, has to undo that manual tarp and sideboards to load/unload. Truck is 96, yellow power, and never been on a hook.

    arch is necessary for that long wheelbase, here coils sit almost above rear axles if we are talking about 5axle combination.
    long is necessary if you haul any other type of steel except coil or wire coils (lets say 6mm wire 2500kg heavy)
    here sideboards always open without removing them. i cant judge from photo how tall they are (if it would be possible to lower them due height).
