Flatbed instead of a SD ???

There's lots of light weight highway trucks pulling lightweight tandens that can load 50K or more.

You just have to spec it right>to make it light!

 

In the chicago area3 coils=2 chains one on the front coil and one on the back coil with the middle coil just sitting between them belly loaded of cource

 

You are way better off with a flat with sides in your area IMO. Right now might be the perfect time to find a never used 2011 on a lot and get it for a good price.

 

Come on now Fortycalglock. You think he's gonna move on your gravy.

 

lol, no when you rent a trailer from Landstar, such as the brand new aluminum Fontaine Revolution SHC will be getting, the rental agreement states that is the only trailer you may pull. I posted the short and sweet answer from my phone earlier. I'm not worried about Rob finding my gravy, but I worry enough that the 1000's of folks that hit this site might, I give no clues or pics of the gravy.

I'm definitely interested in hearing what SHC has to say about the Revolution once he's had it a few weeks. BTW, buy some frigging tarps, coil racks, beveled lumber, rubber strips and some edge protectors already. Coils are easy to load.

 

T600 72inch sleeper reitnouer 48ft big bubba full of gear 50k on deck no problem. Coils load fast and easy to tarp.

 

Thats what I thought but you can own one of every type of trailer correct?

 

Yeah. I've toyed with the idea of buying a new RGN and keeping my step for my gravy and when RGN is slow. I think you have to pull a load with the trailer every 120 days to keep it in the system though.
