    My trailer is a 48ft tandem and it doesnt spread. I know that's not a common choice but we used it to run Canada. I think the boss said they are less headache dealing with Canadian regulations can't remember. But thanks

    I think it has to do with being a Friday night and it does sound sketchy. Who wants the blame for dropping a boulder in a TA parking lot? not I says the wrecker. One did offer to do it for $750 but...yeah...

    I'm out in rock springs now to link up with haulhand so I'm praying to truck Jesus that we get it all worked out. I'm glad people really do stick together here. Reminds me of the army days

    I had to move a crane counterweight a few feet back on the deck once. I used chains and ratcheting binders. It took a while, but I was able to get it moved, inch by inch.

    I would hope that those slabs are resting on oak timbers, and not directly on the deck.

    True, but what are the odds of the timbers sliding WITH the slabs???
