    Only a 19, you are setting your sights way to low. I would think a dual lane trailer would much more in line with your potential - no sense in wasting time on the small
    Stuff

    Really - so 14 wide 15 7 tall and 116k net weight is just like hauling a load of lumber??

    Since , I am probably the only one of the two of us that has hauled a D9 complete with the blade, ripper and erops - I can say with confidence that you are wrong.

    I posted my photo - where is yours?

    Well, hey, general cargo securement rules apply to both, so in that regard, they would be "the same" lol.

    The day I started pulling 90,000 lbs net on Super-B trains was the day I realized that there are several different "classes" of flat deck trucking, and a whole other level of respect needed for it. 137,500 lbs gross isn't something you plan to stop with brakes, even on flat ground. It's something you need to be looking a couple miles ahead and reading what traffic is doing 20-30 seconds before you get there.
