    BC7B32B2-530B-413F-8F39-D7590F742B6C.jpeg We picked it up from the Dorsey factory in Alabama yesterday and promptly drove to North Carolina to have the Eagle conestoga tarping system installed by Friday.

    The trailer is 53 foot long, wood deck, rear axle slide, automatic pressure system for the trailer tires, container locks for two 20foot , one 40 footer or one heavy 20.

    Dorsey made a few adjustments that are going to bring us in right at 13.5 with the conestoga installed and 103.5 inch clearance inside the conestoga.


    wish us luck

    Congrats, looks good!

    Is it normal for conestogas to be over 102'? I guess I never paid that much attention to them.

    Yes. Most are around 108 outside width. Don't need permits for them though.

    Figure roughly 3” extra on each side. Mine is about 99-100 inches inside at the rear….

    I was referring to the inside height of 103.5” so that it will accommodate 20’ containers that are typically 102” tall.

    Might want to get it aligned asap. They just eyeball it at the plant when they put them together.
