hey flat bedders....buy a new truck recently?

What kind of trailer are you pulling? Sounds like it may be all steel. I can get(not that I want to) 50,000 on the deck with my Pete 379 and a 53' all aluminum Mac with full tanks. With my 48' Great Dane combo I can only get 48000 and that is with half tank of fuel. When I had an all steel trailer I could only get 46500.

 

its your steel trailer that is weighting u down not the only the truck spec

 

Gotta agree, a lot of weight in steel trailer. I had a 48 Transcraft step steel/wood floor, steel wheels, 2 tool boxes (full) and the trailer weighed 15,000#. Hooked to my '12 Star and full of fuel I was 34,500 tare.

 

You know I'm starting to wonder if the accountants aren't in with the dealers??? Mine said the same thing pretty much, I made to much money and need to spend some of it this year To reduce my tax load for next year. If some knows or finds this money please be kind and return it to me or tell me where it is. I do believe if you find he money for me your reward will be right along side of it. Thankyou

 

I can only do 45k on my step decks. And I l love it

 

As I hate to admit it, your right on the warranty thing, even with Pete's, there is a heavy haul company in my town that use to run all Pete's, but switch completely to freightshakers for this exact reason
