    I don't own a flatbed, but my company is willing to let me borrow theirs.

    $13,000 is insane Allen, take it on over where they will do it free. I would consider trading it afterwards like mentioned above, you might pull it for 20yrs no problem or next year be right here again, personally I do not have time for those games. I know right now you do not want to hear it but I thought long and hard this year about going to aluminum and didn't do it, went combo Rienke. Not tryin to sell a brand here just saying. This isn't the first horror story about these aluminums I have heard, but some guys have great luck with them. Definition of insanity; doing the same thing over and over and over again expecting different results each time......
    let us know how it all ends,BTW did you make it over to Ohio with it alright???

    $13,000 and free is the same place. East decided to do it for free.

    If I were to buy anything, I would get a hybrid revolution. About the same weight as this East step deck.

    I haven't left for Ohio yet, probably going to do that next week or so. Right now I'm under a load that is going to Belleville ON, I'm just waiting out the storm a bit. Will leave in the morning.

    Actually I ended up giving that load away to a guy that needed to go home. No big deal. If I don't get a load tomorrow I think I will take my trailer down then.

    Pops had a trailer with the moose logo. It was a piece of sheet. Welds cracked just like that.

    I work in the service department at East. I didn't work on your trailer but I walk past it everyday.
