    Just curious...was the thinking that a step was easier was because it was lower? I've seen some loads on step decks where I was thinking..man I bet that guy wished he had a flatbed.

    If you're too much of a lard ### to get on a 54' deck. Maybe open deck of any kinda ain't for you.

    Why does size matter? Couple chains. Ratchet ratchet. Drive away. Gravy train.

    Because contrary to popular belief size is important. Say a d3 nice simple little machine. Now take a d9 totally different game. One, the places you'll pick up or deliver a d9 is not the same place you'll pick up and deliver a d3. A d3 is 7 foot wide and a d9 is 14 foot wide. A d3 weighs about 15k and a d9 weighs 100k. Quite the difference, see where I am going here. It'll take you longer to chain a d9 than it will to strap a load of sticks

    You're not thinking hard enough. I suspect you have no clue of what you're talking about. You over simplify hauling a piece of equipment.

    Calm down. No need to get hostile. It's a bull dozer.
