    All of these things listed above is why I stick with what these guys call gravy. I only do 15 high or less and 14 wide or less. and only stay in states that I know well. I have been doing HH for about 4 yrs now. I am a one horse show and it is too much to take on by myself to go any larger. It's ok to say this is my max and I won't go over it. You should do only what you know you can do safely, legally, and professionally do. I've got nothing to add that hasn't already been said other than welcome. These guys are a select club of drivers and, you should always do things that exemplifies that.

    The truck is a 2016 Coronado mid roof glider. 14 liter 60 series tuned to 550/1850. 18spd and 3.91 rear end. Trailer is a trail king advantage series,hydraulic neck, 29ft well ,full deck, full upper deck with a flip. Rated at 45 ton since the owner never plans on running it as an 8 axle. This is my first time on a new truck so I been anxious since august

    After hearing what's been said so far I'm thinking I'll tell them hold off on the real tall stuff. Wide I don't mind but tall will take some nerves.

    If, in your travels, you find a spot with a big parking lot with easy access...with a nearby restaurant with killer food or a hot waitress (and adult beverages for the win), let us know. Food pics are greatly appreciated.

    Btw gang, lets toast the new owner op with the next adult beverage...

    On a side note. I went by jimmy Doyle's in little rock. It looks like it's for sale. Did he close up? Man, the night's I've stumbled out of there.
