We call them walking beam out here. Only folks I hear call them "west coast trailers" come from quite a bit further east.
Ah, I see, because I didn't work within your narrow terminology for a "west coast" trailer, obviously I don't know anything. We call them walking...
Take that suspension to just about any lowboy manufacturer and ask them what that lists as, they'll tell you walking beam. Now, if you've got an...
Back in the day insurance was a totally different situation from today. Great West, Great Lakes, Canal, a lot of them won't touch someone under 23...
I mean, manufacturers will refer to them as walking beam, but, what do they know, right JD?
You're right on on the description, DD. I have yet to see a leveling valve that can keep up with a 336 or a 2100 Wirtgen on a 3 axle lowboy. All...
We have 4 air ride walking beam lowboys. Two 3-1 60 ton Trail Kings, the 65 ton Etnyre, and the 75ton TK 2-3-2 which is really our super load...
Upper, lower, middle, anywhere that needs a good pat. You wouldn't be the first one to say I have an attitude, but, he wants to know why there...
No, it is air ride walking beam. 26 in the well, 34 with the extension in.

65-ton rated modular deck in 12ft, we have an 8ft extension for it, as well. Neck has a 3ft flip over section so the trailer is easily operated as...
It really depends on where you're at. If the jeep had more than an 8-6 spread from center of last drive to center of the jeep axle, in Colorado...
It's difficult to give a straight answer to this question because its going to depend on the specific setup that you have. Most states allow...
They look okay to me, not having a direct sideview to gauge tire clearance. The rollers will hop a bit at the sharp turns, but, I've used plenty...
26. I started learning to drive from some veterans at a heavy haul operation in my late teens when I was still in college. By my senior year I...
There might be some day that I end up in law school. I've done an LSAT dry run (just a practice test, not a full bore LSAT). This next part is...

Well, the most important thing is to not go to a "heavy haul" outfit that cuts rates... Like ATS or Keen. Swift of OD freight.
As some of the older members of this particular subforum may know, I'm one of the young guys on the board, but, I have a history in heavy haul and...
So, here's my contributions, whilst avoiding the platitudes: You need to learn to really feel the truck through steering, throttle, and seat....
