    I can either let it swing or I do have some flip down bars behind it to hold it flat. I'm going to see how this works with 6" of ground clearance. I can move it 3" higher if I flip the angle it's mounted to and notch the top of the sign for the radar.

    Consider a spring mounted stop bar so that a road hazard will allow the sign to swing but road wind will not fold it back.

    Kinda surprises me that as far back as it is, you’re that heavy up front.

    Honestly that's why I felt that it was noteworthy.

    I had had people here and also some of our bigger drivers warn me about this. And give me a bit of advice on loading.

    But seeing it in action myself certainly puts it more into perspective.

    Another quirk of it is is that the main beams themselves seem more springy or maybe that's just a weirdness in the suspension but. It definitely seems to have a lot more bounce.

    Got upgraded to a beam full-time this week — I don’t know nothin’. But we got a nice crane load out the gate — 13-5 tall, 11-6 wide, around 100k gross.

    I swear it looks bigger this time around, even though it’s on a 3” shorter trailer. 539335F3-7A9D-4509-B861-D92CA6D43A18.jpeg 97F14A43-8A18-45D4-83E3-5331055D5C9E.jpeg A608EFC6-BCCA-4EB0-A5B0-DE57C8FDB273.jpeg
