Post your flatbed load pictures here

That is a really $h!tty thing to do.

 

i remove mine when parked simply for the fact i have those spring loaded ones that cost about $35 dollars apiece and my flags on the load have 100lb magnets all goes in the cab at rest. i'll be #### if i'm going to supply some lowlife with them!the banner on that volvo NO COMMENT other than you cant fix stupid!

 

I would often pull out of the shippers yard with out flags.
The reason was that often it was such a tight squeeze that I would have to take the edges of the truck to with in inches of gate posts etc.

 

Thought the "good buddy" lights were the ones you see in the windshield? Or is that what you mean like inside glowing lol. I've got red lights in the back of my bunk and I'm def no good buddy lmao

 

I do, sometimes.

 

Unfortunately, most major shippers view transportation in terms of 2 things price and capacity. When there is excess capacity, which is the current situation, the really only look at price. In my opinion, the carrier pictured supplies significant capacity to the shipper pictured at competitive prices. The pictures would have zero effect on said carriers business with said shipper. They only care if the unit is damaged when it arrives at the consignee. If so, a claim is filed and the carrier pays. End of story. Unfortunately, this will continue to favor large carriers using only company drivers that operate at lower margins with lots of trucks.

 

Here is another truck I saw this weekend. I thought the chain rack was pretty interesting. It's obviously an oil field truck, but I still like it

 

I thought the red lights in the cab area were good buddy lights, sleep red lights are only mood enhancement lights. Man law sez they are ok.

 

You cant be highly specialized and very large.
To be very large you need to be cheap.
To be highly specialized you cant be cheap.
The right balance is to be cost effective on loads requiring specialist expertise and equipment.
With the load in question it is just not specialized enough so often will often just go to the lowest bidder.

 

I did a rig move last month with that outfit being the ld. and unld. crew. Nice people to work with.
I think it even has a winch in the middle of the rack.
