I'm not so sure the sliding j hooks are even better. I'm thinking the j hook channel is going to get filled with debris unless I can somehow clean it out. I never had either kind but I old like to try them
Once you have a trailer with the J-hooks everything else seems like sub-standard garbage. I never had much of anything get stuck in the channels, besides, a trip to the truck wash every now and then will keep them nice and clean.
I'm always digging rocks out mine you can't do much about it because most places I load at the forklift drivers always scrap every rock in the drive....I find it easier to use the shop vac to suck them out
Yep, that place is a bigger hassle than its worth, not to mention that every load I saw out of there was way to cheap. You have to drop your trailer in a dock to load most of the time also.
I wouldn't of normally taken it but I need to get to LKY ASAP so I took it. I survived on pennies at my last company, so 1.58 isn't that bad... At least it's a light load.
I don't care for York out of Norman either but usually take the load considering Oklahoma city area is cheap freight going to lousy areas. Mercer gets a lot of loads out of York. But once you get Mercerized, 1.58 miles seems lousy though profitable.
I love my bedchains, but hate the container locks. They are always stopping my winches from sliding where I want them. There's no winch rail in front of each lock. Anther reason not to only use the coordinator exclusively #122..... He called me about a load from CT to WA at for $5088. I told him I would call him back so I could check on weather conditions. Called him back 10 minutes later and he told me the load was gone. I checked the load board and it was still there. I committed myself to the load. Then 5 minutes later the agent called me to give me the load info. I'm sure he knows I got that load, but we haven't talked since.
they stopped that, now you have unhook the red airline and they put a lock on the gladhand. just get the loads with a stop or two on em and you can get bumped up to a 1.75 out of there. the good side is the loads are light and when I lift the front axle on the spread, its worth 12 to 15 cents a mile in fuel savings
