An old man's career goes flat, Snackbar moves to open deck

It does come in handy......

 

53’s but who’s counting, right? I’m not sure if we have any open 48’s left. I haven’t seen one in a long time. We still have a couple of close to 20 year old 48 foot quickdraws. They are local trailers, they used to use them in Wichita. Then they got sent to wa to get sold, that was at least a year ago and one of them is parked behind the shop right now. That exact trailer was old when I hired on here 8 years ago. They told we it was being retired soon, we retarped it and kept running it.

I went back and looked at some of my old picture, this trailer may have been my very first oversize load ever. We had to pull the kit and lay it on the deck after the tarp exploded in the wind. I loaded my normal KS-ON/QC load and transferred the load in Toledo. That’s where we were getting trailers retarped at the time.

you are correct. I took a little walk this morning because they don’t have any local work for me. We have 4 48’ flats, one 45’ flat, and 2 48’ steps. That doesn’t count any of the specialized equipment, they are mostly 48’ trailer except for the 53’ stretch flats. That’s what’s in WA.

I get to play local driver for a few days. Got to practice my tent making abilities yesterday. Our three piece tarp system was obviously layed out by someone who has never used a tarp before.

The center piece tarp can be turned 90 degrees and you have a 24x18 tarp. The problem is the d rings are 10’ apart in the center so you have no d rings if the load is very short. In my case the extra tarp had to get tented and should probably get strapped down. No reason those d fringe couldn’t be spaced 8’ apart in the center.
I know, typical driver, ##### ##### #####. Haha.
Edit: 5 48’ flats, they pulled one out of the shop.

 

So the Snackbar is headed to the Southwest hmmmm….@Kylefitzy
