    Yes, we are the same. 33k. However, I have a 60k bean trailer with 12" cross members. I don't fault your logic. However, I didn't buy the trailer I have, not to belly load.

    Edit: besides, it's still wayyyyy more spread out than a single coil is. o_O

    im just saying its easier on the equipment no matter which trailer you have... and it litterally scales the same.. thats all im saying... we all know hauling coils is about the most abuse you can give a trailer.. . which is why i never hauled them because i didnt have the right trailer for it.... just try the split load once. you might like the ride better.

    Mostly because they won’t let you. Glass is not as easy as it might look. Word I get is, hard to get drivers into it. Back in 2008, Maverick was quietly guaranteeing drivers $ 900 to $1200 a week.

    Yeah, that sounds about right. They said I would make more that way, but I also knew it would be a LOT more work, but it's moot now. I kind of figured you meant once they get you in, you don't get to change, at least not with them. My MOS in the military was the same. Unique skill set, competency, aptitude and knowledge: meant they had you in a position that they couldn't afford to let you leave. Good for them, sucks for you. :(
