    Lol share your idea- ain't anybody else can talk badly: it's an idea!
    I wonder sometimes if I "think outside of the box; or if I'm just a prick that is to "particular" about what I want

    Exhd, daycab, low roof (non of that ultra cab ########) 300" wheelbase, steerable pusher, 20/20/super 40s @3.55, 22' aluminum flatbed WITH RUBRAIL & STAKEPOCKETS @102" wide, the tricky part is that I want the bed removeable via lifting agents and to use container locks on the front center and at the bottom side of a large T bar on the back for the lights to secure it to the frame, a fifth wheel underneath, with air n electrical at the rear and on a drop panel between the rails.

    Probably a lot of shiny black paint- not sure what other colors

    Ok @Ruthless heres what i would do.

    Take a truck like this

    http://www.rdk.com/garbage-trucks/2009-volvo-roll-off-truck/

    Remove the tarp and supports (hevey) or pick one that doesn't have it to begin with. They come in singles duels, or tags, up to 3 tags if you look, (carry alot of weight! ) then i would have one of these made, but 32'

    http://www.friesenswelding.com/container/flat-bed-bodies

    With rub rails and more d rings ext.. could set it down to drive a car on, (no tip deck fees!) Otherwise its just a good hevey flatbed.

    There's a guy on the ct shore line that has done that. Several trucks with various axle counts, detachable bodies (van flat and dumpster- also flats with a knuckleboom!) and pto setups with big fat quick connects. Loads are staged and secured in bodies, drivers come in; swap bodies get paperwork n go.

    Definitely a good setup! Good idea brother

    Stellar makes that setup, the construction company I used to work for had two of them. The newer one was on a sweet T800 short hood with a pusher, they are handy.

    Like 10-12 years ago there was a guy round here with a 3500HD with a rolloff setup on it. Had a bunch of little dumpsters and Flatbeds he used for his little remodeling company. Pretty cool
