    We had a rental stretch once that had some pretty stout "ears" welded on the rear along with some quick coupling airlines and a light plug like it was set up for a pin-on. Had a few loads where that pin-on would've come in handy...
    Or you can do like these guys and just tow the axle under the load... Attachment-1.jpeg.jpg

    Yesterday's "load"...bobtailed to U-Conn to pick up an empty. I love being retired, I get to visit cool places in my spare time...Friday I went to Brooklyn with a load of plank(which I forgot to photograph)
    Worked a little more than usual last week, but hopefully no more than 1 or 2 days for the rest of the week...then Saturday, vacation for 2 weeks! IMG_3186.JPG

    I am glad there are drivers that consider Brooklyn a cool place, so I never have to go there. lol

    Like I said, it is a GOOD thing some drivers like it, if they all liked it as much as I do, those would be some great paying loads. lol

    Would anyone like to buy a bridge?

    11'8" wide. (only weighs like 25,000, kinda shocked, thought it would be heavier). it's up high because it's supposed to go thru a 12' wide gate. ohhhhhhhhhhh should be fun tomorrow..

    11’ 8” through a 12’ gate is child’s play.

    An inch is a mile. 12’ gates are common, we do a lot of parking lot expansions and squeeze through gates all the time.
