    My guess, he ran something over, and blew out the trailer tires on the side. The sudden drop caused the load to shift.

    From what I've seen over the years flat rates are just about the same give or take a few cents as a step.
    The only way I'd ever buy a step is if I had a dedicated contract that called for a step.
    An most of the time those rates are locked in.
    If u don't plan on hauling a lot of OD then there's really no need to spend the extra 10k on a step

    I always set my straps up on cross pulling. I have just as many pulling to left as I do right. Just the way I was taught.

    i tried to read it all .. ugh dont have year

    Im currently driving VAN with my Owen authority get in loads by me self, But like everybody knows loads went down, so im thinking to try Step Deck tri axle 53ft .... But i think its way harder to load yourself with Step Deck then VAN, so im thinking maybe try to lease somewhere But before i buy SD i want to ask you all if its worth it now or i should wait a lit ? about average rates per mile ? how much % dose mercer take if you have your Owen SD

    thank you
