LTL flatbed problem

Yep. Never been a place I couldn’t deliver. Been a lot of places I shouldn’t have delivered.
Like janeway machine is Supulpa, Ok. They built a machine shop on a cell phone tower hill. Washed out steep gravel road for the truck entrance. They have a nice flat concrete drive that the employees use.

 

Y’all ran the OP off

 

A lot of companies are switching to studio sleepers for flatbeds because they want to hire every pretty princess they can. It looks stupid, but also flatbeds go a lot of places that require shorter trucks.

I think the same thing about 14' stacks on a flat top, it looks stupid and it's impractical.

 

He’s wedged under that bridge...

 

Bull Hockey. Flat tops look great with them stack reaching for the moon. They can be an issue at times, but you learn to work around that.

 

It’s the Frenchtown bridge. Receiver is wrong, it’s not 12’8 it’s 12’6. Anyway, we did a transfer at a nearby Stripmall. I paid the forklift guy $50, hotshot took it, done.

 

Do you think there is only one bridge over the Delaware River? You failed to mention the bridge you wanted to cross has a 5 ton weight limit. If only there was an alternative route 3 and a half miles down the road...with a 55 ton weight limit.

 

Hmm coming from 519, I saw signs saying bridge st closed. It might be open now I guess, sure.

 

LTL ?? they usually head back to barn if there is ANY problem delivering.lol

they don't wait more than 5 minutes or something.

 

One of these days I'm going to build a low-clearance rig for these sort of deliveries. Something like a low cab-forward tractor (think garbage truck, Mack LCF or similar) pulling a low step deck. Barring load height I think I could keep it under 9'.

Of course, there are trade offs with everything, and with that rig it becomes a ground clearance issue.
