    Wow. Just wow. I have asked questions here with hopes of not sounding like an idiot. Many of you guys have helped me tremendously. It's interesting to learn that a newbie could be so smart and you guys were all wrong. SMH. I will say thanks for the help I've been given. I guess if you are all losers and I have learned from your advice. I don't even rank as a loser yet. I will try to catch up. Lol

    Just because I'm a freight monger again, and your a 'camper scamper', or a 'trailer bailer' ..... or something like that, doesn't mean that we can't still enlighten the masses ........ ?

    I can feel D O G breathing over my shoulder... I think I'll keep quiet lol



    Trailer bailer might work, fitting 48-56' feet of trailers on the trailer makes for fun loading.

    Shoot, I've had to triple nest before. 2 minis in a medium, two mediums in a big one. And two of them that way. It took a couple hours to get it all secured, inside and out. Didn't do that long!

    Add up all your axle weights. But 40k should cover you fine.

    I posted that class list for the other guy but after reading this entire thread and having family in every part of the trucking industry hell you guys made me feel sad I bought two 3 car haulers and two trucks. I wanted to bring in some extra cash to my car lot. I do feel I can do that; now I know I cant make what you guys make. I don't want all the pie.

    My set up is under 26,001 which means I do not need a CDL correct?
