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

I didn't look closely at your pic until now... that's exactly what is sitting here. How much does that thing weigh? I'm not sure I am quite up to hauling something that big.

 

It's got the blue cover on it just like the one in your picture. That's what, a 16' wide?

 

Do the new trucks still have the tow hook tubes in the front bumper? (Didn't look close at the ones sitting at the yard). Since they're not putting a Prius deflector on the front of the new ones, the shop could fabricate a frame that goes in those to hold a folding oversized load sign.

 

They probably do. Prior to this 'operation weight loss' on the new equipment, that's where they mounted the Prius deflectors. Even for us mortal occasional OD drivers, some sort of frame for the mesh signs would help to keep from screwing up the finish on the bumper from the sign moving in the wind.

 

After noon on a Friday and I am still sitting here at the Lonestar yard. Wichita called this morning needing a trailer inventory (which I had already did yesterday for my dispatcher). Starting to get this sinking feeling I am in Texas for the weekend. Not sure what they could find that'll load this late on a Friday.
