YO!
Whaddup?I could?
Uhhhhh, ------
I mean, I couldWhy?
"Self" already is self-loading.
Although a platform could double as a stage.Oh no!
Not again.
Where am I goin' this time?
I'm always the last to know.I can't think of a better place for a Hog than a grill.
Oh wait!
You mean Hogs with spokes?Hmmmmmmm -----
Ya think?
Maybe they'd even be a tad envious to boot?
Man-0-Man!
I'd finally receive notoriety.
I'd be the ultimate chick magnet.
That'd be better than popularity.
Ya reckon.
Hang on, my red phone is ringin'.
Be right back.

OK, I'm back.
That phone call was from an investigator who discovered the reason why that Big truck is so stretched. I had a feelin' it happened by accident, --- or rather due to the negligence of a dock worker who told the Big truck truck driver that his wagon was loaded so he could pull away from the dock.
Unfortunately, the dock worker failed to release the dock-lock first, --- and with mega horsepower and over 5,000 pounds feet of raw torque under the nose of that Big truck, ---- well, ............ y'all can see the results.
If the photographer had a wider, wide angle lens, he coulda included the 48 foot trailer before it became a high-cube 73 footer.
As I'm sure y'all can imagine, parkin' in truck stops is a challenge.
Four back to back spaces and the isle betwixt 'em as well, totally blockin' through traffic.
I doubt the drivers who are inconvenienced feel jealous.
I'm thinkin' more like rage.
Now-a-daze, when asked if we "can just get along"?, --- that driver just rolls out the stretch truck that he named Mark.
But I don't know why.

keepntruckin and SuperLiner Thank this. -
for those who thinks its ugly - whats wrong with you ?
-
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. My guess is that the extended wheelbase was for a practical purpose.
-
Could be used for the base for a wrecker.
-
Also consider loads consisting of long sections of pipe or poles, rebar or steel I-beams. Loads like those usually overhang both front and rear. The front overhang makes turning interesting
-
Well my thoughts are he is not a company steering wheel holder and can afford it, or he just loves walking more.
-
I copy the "walking more", driver.
Are all those added steps to take a whiz really necessary though?
Not to mention the logging headache created when the trailer is thirty minutes
behind the Big truck pullin' it. Imagine the potential for complaints, ---
The Big truck arrived early, but the trailer was late.
:smt107:smt103:smt112
BTW, any of y'all know how to tell if someone is a professional driver?
Well, ..... for starters, ...... professional drivers don't spatter their boots
when they check the tires.
-
I'm going with it being an old toothpick puller as was mentioned in this thread earlier. Cool old COE. as long as it fits in the left lane it's all good
-
With the frame stretched out like that
it has all the makins' for a Super weekend RV. Remove the fifth-wheel for additional length, or leave it there to pull the ultimate toy-hauler.
During the week, the toy-hauler could be a place to keep mothers-in-law.
Drivers, Don't let'cher in-laws grow up to be out-laws.
