What are yall hauling with stretched frame trucks?

My previous truck had 72” less wheelbase than this truck. 206” versus 278”. You wouldn’t believe some of the places we go delivering materials and equipment into jobsites.
Short wheelbase is overrated when it comes to getting around. A short trailer makes it easier than a short truck, imo.

 

amen. My Brothers truck is 5 feet shorter than the one I used to drive for dad. And I could go everywhere he did, Usually without a great deal of hassle either. You learn to drive with what you have.

 

My truck is a 245 and want it stretched to around 280 that is the max I could go and still fit it in my garage.... Yes I said garage, I have 12' ceilings in my attached garage and it is 30' deep, I am getting the big middle door recut this summer and putting in. 10' door, some stack tippers on my stacks and I will be able to put my truck in my garage. I consider that a pretty big flex, don't know anyone that can fit a semi in an attached garage

 

It ain't that big of a deal... some guys make it out to be impossible . It's like anything else, a good operator makes #### happen

 

They still make the breakaways for the stacks? Dad’s trucks used to have those.

 

Yeah saw em on 4states, they are not cheap, but nothing is. If I would have saw em before I replaced my stacks I would have went taller with this in the first place
