    And how do they steer them with all that weight taken off the front end? Th first haulage truck I had with a very long rear overhang I later found out was built on a coach chassis. My first reload was 2 pickups and 2 deliveries but the collection of the 1st delivery was just around the corner so obviously I put it on the rear. Went straight on at the first bend. :eek: Had to jump it up and down a bit with the throttle 'till I got the 2nd pickup on. :D

    One of the coolest vehicles I ever hauled was a LUV with a wrecker body and a tag axle. Same guy bought a Grape Ape purple Ranchero lowrider with suicide doors and hydraulics.

    It’s amazing how many contractors think two leaf springs, a rear end, and a tailgate are some how cheaper than a delivery charge! I wonder how far they got, hopefully no speed bumps on their way to the job.
