I have a 2016 Volvo day cab.
4 car Head rack
High Rail
Picking up 5 Escalades
Lordstown to Pittsburgh
I'm sure it's an easy load. Im just unfamiliar with that make and model.
I also want to be able to see out the window so I was hoping to omit using the Head rack.
I was thinking one on truck
2 on the trailer with rear deck backed on
Either 2 in belly or
1 in belly, 1 pulled in the back under the other that was backed in.
I have pockets on last deck on top of trailer.
What do you think?

I'd drive 2 on the Headrack, 2 on the top deck of Trailer, and 1 in the belly. any other way you're working a lot harder than you have to.
Tropsnart, Banker and MooneyBravo Thank this. -
The other way to do it is one on the headrack, #3, split deck #4 & #5 (backed on), one in the belly, one on the tail. Leave the tail as far back as you can. There's long and short versions of those, save a shorty for the bottom back, and top back if you have another.
MooneyBravo Thanks this. -
If you were an owner op on this load you would be hauling 6 legally. 4 would be backed with front tires dropped in pockets and 6 would be driven on below it, looks like a big "V" 5 backed in belly, the unit over it won't be 12,6.Last edited: Jun 24, 2017
Tropsnart Thanks this. -
So I would drive the first one on and split it between DEC 2 and the head rack keeping about a foot behind the head pockets?
Drive #2 on swing deck
Pull 3 on to open door
4 on tail and 5 in belly?Banker Thanks this. -
In order to drive 1 on and stop short you will need to add an extra idler on each side or use portable straps. But this is what I have found to keep height down and weight off steers. A long unit like a suburban doesn't have to stay as far back, but a short Tahoe has to stay back in order to get the height down.

uhaul moving blankets save windows. It's not %100 protection but it's been a while since I blew out a back glass. For the $15 for a bag of four I don't even wash em anymore

Also those GM suv's the mirrors don't like to stay folded in if they aren't power folding ones. Watch the placement of that or they can create a problem.
LBZ, brian991219 and Hammer166 Thank this.
