    I'm going to get a 32" if it will fit in my trainer truck.

    Hell guys don't give me ideas the wife would kill me it i had a bigger tv in my truck the the house hahaha


    And Ethan glad to see your gonna train you'll be great I think I will make 8 moths I'm here or a year I just wanna be fully prepared you kno.

    And I've been thinking more and more about flatbeding but the only thing stoping me to be completely honest is not the work or strapping but the trailers and the spread axel it just seems a lot harder to handle an turn I'm not sure tho maybe ill continue to think about it I just love the load I guys haul pretty sick maybe ill get my time in as a door closer but tho axels get me man

    Honestly I find a 48' spread axle MUCH easier to back than a 53' with overhang.

    You do have to turn wider, when going forward, but they turn sharper when going back for me. It also depends on the load. It gets away from you sometimes when the front axle is leading then switches and then the rear axle starts leading.

    I love the spread axle also, so much easier for me to back with.

    Plus its nice not having to slide tandems!! Its easier getting your weight legal. If I'm picking up 50,000lbs of plywood and I'm at 30,000 on my drives then I know I got 38,000lbs on my trailer axles since empty I'm at 12k on drives and 6k on trailer. I love spread axle trailers. If I ever go back to pulling a box it will be a spread axle 48' reefer.

    Sliding tandems is pretty hard, pull release handle, slide, the release handle back in, and lock. But I see what u mean, if I went spread axle after this for anything probably feel the same way going back to normal tandems. Easy peasy
