The Greenhorn Landstar Chronicles

Skateboard what ya buying,,,or not?

 

Congrats on 1 year! Look forward to hearing about year 2.

 

Yes you can shower in that and dry quick. Very efficient.

 

2005 45' Great Dane combo flatbed. Doesn't look like this anymore!!!

 

I would buy the same one! It's been perfect.

I bought it as a 48'. That's what the metal tag says on the trailer and the title. Next year I pull in and they have lines painted on the concrete and the guy yells out, 45 foot trailer. I tell him no, it's a 48.

Get Great Dane involved and sure as heck it's 45'. They ask if I want to come back and get a 48. I said no it's seems to be fine. They send me a letter telling me they will give me back 100% of what I paid for the trailer towards a brand new 48'. I think it was good for 3 or 5 years. Only had a few loads that needed a true 48'

 

I have a 6' long box on the side and a 2'x2'x2' box. The small box holds all my chains. I have a box on the catwalk that holds all my binders. The big box is filled with other junk like coil racks, pipe stakes and a ton of junk. 25 sliding straps on side of trailer too

 

I use to carry a 3 piece lumber tarp and 2 steel tarps. Then someone told me to get rid of the middle lumber tarp and turn one of the steel tarps sideways. 200 21" bungee cords.

And don't buy that large chrome breaker bar. Buy the smaller black one. I've had 2 of the chrome ones snap at the end. Not fun!!! It's too long and you can get a lot of leverage on it.
