    Ok, and after seeing skooter's pic with the D8, it makes sense now. Thank you.

    It's been flawless so far. A little heavy for what I'm doing now, but I always have the option to trade this flat in on a trailer with no landing gear too, might do that when the market straightens back out. Then again, it's really nice not having to deal with permits and all that goes with them.

    Glad to hear that. Just leave the tarps at home and weight issue solved.

    I wish I could leave them home, but they get me back to my direct stuff with a lot better pay than the no tarp stuff.

    @Oscar the KW what is the new truck? I remember talking about it but I'm a little fuzzy.
