Right after I started driving the wife and I were coming back to Oregon from reno late one night hauling logs on a flatbed with bunks chained...
I have 35% on a white truck, looks really dark. Makes a huge difference in amount of sun and heat during the summer. I run 75% in California and...
You can find cheap knock off milk crates at most stores in the storage isle. Not going to last packing them around, but for just leaving in the...
I just did one of those loads a couple weeks ago. Northern Idaho to Truckee CA. Not a bad load. Kind of time consuming loading and unloading. They...
20 short lumber straps in milk crates, 10 long straps in front, 8 chains, and two long front to back straps for hay. Plus 2 bars and strap roller....
Maybe putting your actual location in your profile would help. The gubbernet already knows where you are, they're not using this message board to...
I had a fixed tandem flatbed early on with a fairly heavy truck. Light weight was 31,000 and it was a constant struggle to balance loads. Most...
Spread gives so much flexibility in loading and hiding slight overloading mishaps! Most have a rear axle dump wired into the cab. Being a good...
Thursday thru Saturday I chained 7 times, and ran 1800 miles in Oregon and Cali
I have to brag, I leave Monday around noon, usually home Wednesday night, then home again mid day Friday. 2500 - 3000 miles a week, but Fridays...
as long as the spread is 10' (i believe that's accurate) you can go 20,000 per axle. If the spread is under that 17,000 per axle
Good advise, always get a routine when loading or unloading. I went 600 miles once hoping my winch bar was somewhere under the tarp and not in...
Oregon, that is the communist hole i crawled out of. Maybe growing up in sawmills and working in the woods since I was a teenager gives me a...
So you really weren't hurt very bad at all, then your family convinces you to go to doctor, and now you can't work anymore. Sorry but we used to...
When my spread flatbed is loaded to weight I can dump the rear axle and magically lose 2000lbs off my drives. You just got to have the right valve...
You know what you don't see chained up in a snow storm? Motorhomes, bicycles, and various other 50 mph RV's. I welcome winter out here in the...
I see this in California all the time with the split speed limit. If I come up on a broke down truck or even a cop on the side of the road, and...
