10-4. Appreciate that. And I have a letter prepared to send to the shipper and the trailer manufacturer. Only in the spirit of calling attention...
I get that, and I'm already there. I mainly wanted to know if there is already guidance or directive that I should have known to use dunnage right...
I'd be interested in what you find. There are different manufacturers of those particular legs, of course.
It doesn't seem logical. But it happened five times and left my load unstable AF. Just out of the same curiosity a few others have expressed here,...
Good points. I had thought about tightening 6" or 8" hose clamps around those pull pins too. To prevent them from vibrating out during transport.
I think that's going to end up being the case. If the manufacturer was to weigh in, they'd most likely say the legs are for static support only....
Here's language I typed up for the company's safety people to review. I'm no engineer, but it's my shade tree mechanic thinking: "Here is how I...
You know, I asked the shipper (1-800-PACK-RAT) right away when they started loading if I needed to put my dunnage out. They said no. Since I...

Thanks Miroh. That's exactly what I want to avoid, and frankly, I only stumbled on the 65' requirement myself.
Well crap. Maybe I can find a good used one first. Or just go for the gusto. Thank you.
No, but I figure I'll eventually find a quality 40' trailer with everything I need--and a properly sized gooseneck.
I've done a bit more research and I've found that, apparently, the GN "swing clearance" varies quite a bit between manufacturers (and maybe...
It's about 17-1/2 ft from the front bumper to the gooseneck ball. Just under 22' total bumper to bumper. I've seen in some forums that Ford...
Yeah, I read that too. Thanks. Maybe for my next truck. Still looking for trailer solutions while keeping my bed on this truck.
Newby questions; sorry. How hard is it to find a top-notch 40' GN trailer that keeps the max truck/trailer length within 65'? Would it take a...
Powerstrokehelp.com in Buford GA is great. I tried to use them a few months ago, however, and found they're so busy that it takes them days to...
