45x96 flatbed trailer opinions.

Go.

 

Hang in there, the worst is over, you'll get over it and you'll have natural anti-bodies to boot..

 

Mac! See my other thread post.

 

Still pulling one.

Edit Im 42x96.

 

Can't have Mac tastes when I'm on a Transcraft Budget.

You're mostly steel haulin, yeah?


So it was a question with not much in the way of details.

Found a couple of 45x96 Western steel/aluminum flatbeds for sale locally that aren't (completely) idiotically priced. Looks like formerly owned by Leavitt's so fleet trailers...

 

Looks like it'll work. The mounting position of the sensor vs the tooth it is turned by makes it twist slightly when the holes are lined up. As long as it doesn't rev up when I plug it in and start it I think it'll work perfectly, I will likely end up extending the harness though but that's not a big deal for it to be more comfortable. I did set it on the floor and play around with positioning and it was much nicer to be able to rest my foot on the pedal and it not just go to wot position.

 

Pshhhhh, sure you can. Don't sell yourself short. I can personally guarantee you will like the experience.

 

Why?

 

Curious if in this day and age of 48x102 and 53x102 if anyone is doing general hauling with them, or if it would be a situation where brokers would balk at loading something less than a 48.

Last flat I pulled was a 40x102, but it was for a private carrier not general for hire work.

 

Most of what I did I could've gotten away with a 45x102. Except for some lumber and steel loads a 45 would have done everything I needed and then some.
