step deck 48 or 53

I've got four of them and they are most defiantly good trailers. They weigh right at 21500 and they pull like a dream. The only thing I don't like about 2 of them is they're Cali legal and have 17.5 rubber which can be a pain in the ###. The other two have the axles at the back proper like and are running lopro 22.5 rubber with only a 4 inch difference in deck height. As far as rates go I try to get around 6 or 8 a mile before permits or pilots and if they don't want to pay that I let someone else haul the freight. I've got some dedicated accounts and they pay real good so I don't have to try and find freight real often unless I'm trying to get home.

 

I assume you guys are talking about the steel manacs?

 

Yea a steel Manac Extendable. I've looked at their Aluminum trailers and wouldn't want one looks like they use really cheap materials to make them and i don't think that they would hold up to what I do.

 

I was gonna tell you the aluminum ones have a flaw at the spread, my cousin found that out. Manac even knows about it and makes a kit but don't notify the owners.
