    If i carried every little thing a shipper wanted I'd have no room left for the actual freight.

    I carry metal edge protectors for coils, but also have a stack of the edge protectors I posted above plus I carry the big 36" V-boards. I know Owen's Corning no longer will give out card board edge protectors, you wanna haul for them you need to have your own edge protectors.

    What stuff are you referring to that would leave you no room?

    I bet you would tarp a load of asphalt shingles for free too.

    How do you not have room for a small smoke tarp? They roll up very small. Same as v boards. Stick them under your trailer on the cross members.

    Company policy disallows me from carrying extra gear in certain areas. Plus, I like to keep minimal crap on the trailer considering how often I need a full 53’ and how often I do drop and hook.

    If I can’t safely lock it up I don’t want it.
     
    Tug Toy Thanks this.
