    Where did Bo get all of his experience to move up to heavy haul? How long did it take from starting out in flatbed to get up to 9 axle heavy haul?

    Glass can take a bbeating more than you think..if secured right. Where it breaks is the side to side when the trailer flex and twist there is a ton of work with hauling glass on a flatbed with setting up racks taking them down etc

    Bo has been flatbedding, stepdeck, RGN, for 30 years. His recent exp was a beam trailer with a jeep attached to it (4axle truck, 3axle jeep and 3axle trailer) and I take pics of EVERYTHING he does and i make sure he is in the pics working and doing stuff. He went to Combined to haul glass and after he got there and met everyone and was talking about past exp they saw pics and offered him the 9 axle. It took about 20 years but he really was not interested in HH till just a few years ago. Some guys at Combined have been moved up from the RGN's to the 9 axle trailers and they have been here for 5-7 years.
