54k coil.....

Band it to a pallet and throw in in a dryvan or reefer and roll.

 

But JB Hunt daycabs are already pulling them in Butler,IN. Do you think I could find a trailer and under cut them 400 bucks?

 

Isn't it like 160K in Michigan with the 42 wheel Covered Wagons?
Also helps explain (not counting weather) why a lotta highways are bowed slabs.

 

That's what I LIKED about PAPER LOG BOOKS as well Single Page and DEDICATED tours. I DID "Legally" Go OFF DUTY anytime, anywhere.

 

Band it to a pallet. Define "pallet".
No other Securement??
throw it in a dry van or reefer and roll.....OVER, copy?

 

I used to haul those coils in a frame less end dump.at night with a 380 inch wheelbase R model. I could add a load of lime or sand in there, and when I got to the scales I would engage the PTO, lift the front trailer axle a couple inches and scale legal.

It's an old steel hauler trick.

 

I book my truck by $ per day and short haul very low miles must be $1200 minimum for the day. Even if you discard the notion of trailer wear from a coil that big I would need to do 3 of them in a day. Right now it’s easy to be over $1200 a day so $1500 for 3 ain’t bad. Think of all the exercise you’ll get chaining and tarping 3x.

This reminds me of when I was a company driver years ago when I started driving. Paid $25 for a trailer move. I would take pallet trailers and deliver them across the street. I’d grab all the BOLs they had like 7 and bang then out in an hour. Serious money back then lol.
