    Mormon board? Flat piece of plywood with a rope? Towed by a forklift?

    We brought a bunch to Sebring this year! Every tire was fingerprinted. The young guys they have are animals, 25-35 min per trailer. 760 tires per trailer and stacked straight, not woven in. They filled 3/4 of
    the tent in like a day and a half.
    Fun fact.....there was close to the same amount under the tent in March 2020, when a week before the
    event, Covid pulled the plug and we had to load them all back up.

    Someone about two trucks over just hit one of those big bollards hard.

    We heard the air brakes go "NO," then BLAM.

    No... A board puller is an old style of bulk trailer... Predates belt trailers.

    A couple of sprocket driven chains ran the length of the trailer, on the chains were a couple of dogs that pulled the boards. The boards were just a tad shorter than the width of the trailer. You loaded from front to back, as you loaded you laid boards across the chains for the product to sit on. If you got a board crooked 3 things could happen...

    1: the last couple boards wouldnt fit

    2: the boards wouldnt pull straight and would get jammed

    3: you unloaded the entire load with a shovel or pitch fork in order to straighten the boards.


    #3 is why you only ever got a board crooked once... It's an experience one never forgets.
