    An rgn had the same problem a step does. Everyone and their brother went out and bought one so now it no longer carries the premium rate it used to.

    As another reason. Mercer has very little rgn or dd freight. You'd probably have to switch over to admiral merchant. And while they are a fine company, I drank the koolaid. I'm not ever leaving.

    Have you considered one of those super low steps? If I ever get around to building a big house, I'll be pulling one of those and piss off the heavy haulers grabbing their tall loads.

    well, everything being to heavy doesn't bother you to much then. get an rgn and you will squeal, I run my flat, sitting at my sons concrete plant is a paid for 3 axle rgn with all the toys. its pulls an excavator around every now and then, it can sit right there. like has been said , everybody and their brother has one , same as a step, the rates simply don't justify taking that joker to Louisville and getting it inspected.

    Yes you can refuse it if it still shows "will commit"

    I have a super low stepdeck spec'ed and priced finance is set up I just gotta give the word this fall after I get my truck title I went with the all aluminum 36" loaded ride height the steel frame would give me 35" I can deal with an inch and it's over 1,000lb lighter than the Great Dane steps Mercer has with all the bells and whistles
