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

Don’t give away all the good ####. I’m heading that way on Thursday with a double drop, maybe with a flip. But I’m going to lovely San Francisco.

 

Does your bar have a lip around the end, if so Wichita or Arlington can fix that design flaw for you.

I get to pull one of the new flats tomorrow. 11’4” wide 250 mile move. No tarps!

 

I had to strap a load of aluminum logs last night. I said to myself, it could be worse....I could be tarping one of SSBs loads......

 

Today’s mission on one of the fancy new aluminum flatbeds. Well they would be fancy if they had central tire inflation, spare tire racks and strobe lights. Maybe next time.

 

Well aren’t you just a bunch of good news tonight! I delivered that 200 mile local load and bounced back to the yard. After some training at KW I’ll load a truck late tomorrow and probably head south Friday morning.

as far as what they are going to do with these trailers, who knows. Doubtful they will get tarp kits, we usually send those trailers straight to the tarp kit installer. We used to install our own Quickdraw kits, those were #### good trailers.

there are three tail lights on each side so they could make one of those into a 4” round strobe, but they probably won’t. 100 million dollar company and I’ll have to bungee battery powered od lights to the back of these trailers. I guess it’s a Good thing I only run strobes where needed. Ga, mi, tn, co at night, nm at night (I think).

 

Must not be a very heavy load if that trailer hasnt flattened out...

 

13500, but it’s self supporting and blocked on each end. These trailers are rated at 90k fully distributed. I think it might have taken 1/4” of arch out of the trailer. Maybe.
