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
Lepton1 and FlaSwampRat Thank this. -
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.Lepton1 and FlaSwampRat Thank this. -

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.

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.Lepton1 Thanks this.
