    Did it with 2 different Volvo's and 2 680's, all 4 fleet spec box trucks. It's not easy but it can be done. I've picked up 61k with one of the Volvo's.

    Is the chain running down to a pocket or are you using chain pills on one end of a binder?

    That’s gonna be the issue... I believe it’s gonna be two of those small Genie Telehandlers. Their a hair over 10,000 pounds so I know those can walk onto the trailer with some force...

    They don't do it because we have 240 trucks and at $500 a set for ramps, that's $120k. That's the excuse they've always used. Then they do put ramps on and the driver slides his 5th wheel all the way up with a curtain or something, goes through a dip while turning and tears the ramps off, tears up the bottom of the trailer etc.
