    Run a strap around the bundle then tighten it. Thereby "choking" it and causing it to stay in the round shape it's in.

    Martin, I found out today you know somebody I have known alot of years.
    Remember a ld. you did a long time ago where you guys had to back into a 14' w door with 13'11" lds. Had to take the tarps off to clear the doors??
    Well he has a new Freightliner and his motor is giving him issues. Told him he needed to go to Altoona and see the night shift guys. Am I correct on that statement from your posts?

    God, that WAS a long time ago Carl!
    Who does he run for mate?
    And yes, the evening shift at Interstate Detroit in Altoona,Ia is the place to go. The day shift service writer is a real prick most of the time, so I wait until 4pm before walking in the door.

    No he's still with your mother ship company.
    He sold his star car. Some young kid with more money than brains I guess paid him big bucks for it.
    So then he needed a trk. Got feed a song and dance from the people in purchasing a "fleet Spec" to save some money. He ended up not really saving alot.
    I met him when I lived in Ne. in the late 70's .He had a cabover Pete then. Big ol double bunk
    I saw him passing through the trkstp when I was getting tires and called him.
    He's got one of the new Schnaubles they built

    Looks like the bundle on the end is angled in your favor, some of that stuff, like the tapered posts, like to walk out the back.

    I was worried that the stuff up front was going to slide off, but next time I haul them I know what to do with wrapping them.

    That's a big trailer for a little dozer. In fact, they work well on a 3' deck height step deck. You must need it for whatever is coming back.

    Indeed Chris. Put me @84,000, and they wanted to put the push arms on me too! Needless to say, didn't happen.
    I have a rock drill in Dundalk that goes to Colorado, empty miles more than paid for, that is what I came down here for mate.
    Had 34,500 on the trailer.....very sad!
