    That's perfectly fine as long as you have a doubles endorsement. LOL

    I like the front camber angle on the car on top. That should be just fine. Customer won't notice.

    Those guys who make their living off the load boards haul a lot of insurance auction cars

    Looks like an old highrail Jack Cooper rig someone bought on the cheap and now they “are a carhauler”! Saw this on the CHP Facebook page. IMG_5674.png

    I thought that was a rear steer at first glance. Why they shipped with that enabled I'll never understand, it was impossible to back them up on the truck.
     
    Tall Mike and Banker Thank this.

    I saw an old JC rig east of Indy, yesterday, that had a 1T box truck sitting in that rear-upper position, with the roof of the box tore open. Presumably, he hit one of the overpass supports, through the construction. If one is in the right lane, it would be really easy.
     
    Banker and Hammer166 Thank this.
