    I bought them after I had the same situation when I started (almost a year ago.) There have been times with certain trailers I don't know what I would have done without them. And I had forgotten what they cost until this thread reminded me.

    Buy them or make them, they're a great tool to have.

    Everyone was one sometime driver and there are no stupid questions. :biggrin_25514: Without trucks American could not stay open for business.
    Here's a little wagon I use to haul lumber on. Yeah it took 40 acres to turn it around cause there ain't to many drivers that back these up.

    Thanks. I am a rookie but some guys on here act like they've never been a rookie...ever.

    I respect you a lot for driving that thing. I really do.

    Nothing special just a maxi. Personally I prefer the Super B's. At least I could back those trailers up.:biggrin_255:

    Sounds like pattyj really knows how to work a truck(er).:biggrin_25525:

    sounds like they are mad cause dirtyd is right. the only way to get the wght right is slide to the rear. as long as he's not over length fine.
     
    DrtyDiesel Thanks this.
