    I was thinking about the pan he made and in my opinion its kinda of useless other than to keep you from pulling a car to far forward. They guy I'm leased to has a 5307 and I can usually out load him the only advantage he has over me is the number to spot is longer but with the 7car stack custom the number two looks to be about a foot longer. He can get four Chrysler minivans across the top and I need about another foot to make it work. I can get much bigger vehicles on number one. And I have quite a bit more room above what I put in the belly.

    Always was curious if that stuff UPS/FedEx hangs over their wheels to deter spray/rocks would work across the back of the truck. That said, there was a time on the Interstate where two cars had just collided leaving debris in the road. Came around the corner in traffic & with no warning was just there in it rolling over the plastic. Something kicked up from my tires hitting the bulkhead on the Miller & left a small mark. Would have been in the radiator or trunk without it there. So it may be just a case of how much risk one is willing to take?

    Speaking of risk & ummm No Fear...

    That is NOT me. Those guys run down south somewhere, or so I am told. Guessing that is 14'5 or 6 & with ya guessing over 85' all over hang included. That king pin looks to be sitting behind the rear center of axle.

    Would be interesting talking to those guys I am sure.

    Other than throwing a dually over the roof, don't see how one can abuse their stuff more than what that is.

    Think the photo came off of FB awhile back, so do not know any of the other details.

    Yeah, I've seen the guys in one of my FB groups talk about the stuff they do. If guys who load big are talking smack about you, it might be time for a wee bit of introspection.:yes2557:

    Hell, I'm trying to figure out how he is grossing out that load? I'm counting 7 full size CC sb's let's say MIN. 6000 each, plus another vehicle at 4000, so I'm seeing 46,000 cargo, even if that trailer is only 18,000 doesn't look like it has a lot of tilt beds) PLUS the head rack and it looks like a WS Low max, not exactly the lightest truck out there.

    46,000
    18,000
    1,500

    65,500 NOT counting the tractor?

    I guarantee he is over 40k on just the trailer axle. And I'm sorry lbz I didn't mean to imply that it was you.

    Back on the subject of that bulkhead or whatever you want to call it why I say his is pointless that don't do anymore good than fenders it would need to come all the way down and then back to meet up with the front of the belly spot like your Miller probably was and the 5307 cotrell I have seen.
