The journey begins - purchased a truck.

Man I've been gone from here for awhile and I'm late to the party. When did you get a stretch flat? Do you still have the stretch step?

 

Dang my memory is bad. I remember the 53ft flat you started with and I remember you getting the step but just forgot about the stretch flat evidently. It's good to be versatile though.

 

Let me ask you what you do when you show up to load and shipper has a 60 ft piece and wants to put it on you?
Hang over in front and rear but will not pay to stretch the trailer out.
I used to run into this quite often with my 53 flat.

 

#### do I know- they can pay or they can put it back wherever they got it from.
I’m not out here for practice.

 

60ft piece that is self supporting will ride on a 48 or 53 no problem. If you got enough wheelbase you can hide a lot of length as long as they aren't paying attention.

If I showed up for a legal load that turned out the be 60ft long we go back to step one with a new rate. The permits for it would be almost nothing but I'm not doing it for the same price I was going to run the legal load for.

Lying about the dimensions ahead of time just to try to get me to do it when I get there is a guaranteed way to get me to leave it sit there. Last place that tried that "we do it this way all the time" #### was surprised when I told them to unload it.
