    Why not hook to a different trailer if the works not there? Find a different company to lease to. At the end of the day its on u to run your business, nobody else

    He can’t now. That heavy ### tractor is useless with a flatbed. I’m in the same boat. When your tractor bobtails at 28k your are stuck pulling heavy.

    Because he's not running his business. He's a company driver with a truck payment. He's relying on them to do everything. They tricked him into buying the equipment they didn't have a use for to get it off their books.

    We told him this would happen with his first thread. Told him buying the equipment without dedicated customers was a mistake. Here we are 3 months later with him trying to use stretch trailers to haul heavy equipment off load boards because his company doesn't seem to have the direct customers for the equipment they offloaded onto him.
