She really wasn't in that bad of shape, a complete new lending gear with crank handle on the left side, and a new paint job is all that is really needed, doubt that they would invest that into it though, it has some history apparently, it was a Willig and West Ex trailer at one point .

	I’ve pulled a few pups in my first year with Saia as a LH driver and haven’t hooked one anyway near as sketchy as that one. Radman, USMC 3531, Texas_hwy_287 and 1 other person Thank this.

	Hey now, our 20 year old former AF and Watkins trailers have a certain classic, nostalgic look to them!

 p.s. i used to use those types liftgates when i did food, and i actually prefer them because they fold/unfold automatically.Lumper Humper Thanks this.

	There really isn't any need to. I'm hourly. Looking like I'll finish this pay period with about 50 hours. Go from there.Texas_hwy_287 Thanks this.

	They pull a hell of a lot better than the captive beam trailers do lol.Texas_hwy_287 Thanks this.

	I never really understood all the fuss about those. I’ve pulled them loaded and empty, front and rear, and never noticed a difference. Only problem I have now is they’re sometimes removing the beams but not taking the “C” off the trailer number. When I see those trailers, I like to be able count on them being about a grand heavier than the weight on the manifest.McUzi and Texas_hwy_287 Thank this.

	For me, the P44444C type trailers more often than not seemed to off track considerably or wiggle a lot. I got to pull a handful of brand new P4xxxx trailers that were never built with the captive beam system.
 Even with my slight grievance to handling on the C trailers I always looked for them to run as empties because I liked running visibly newer stuff.jmz and Texas_hwy_287 Thank this.

	Well, you did it, you absolute mad lad. I hope this move pays off in the long run for you, though. Good luck on your latest endeavor, sir. Texas_hwy_287 Thanks this.

	"About" 50 hours is NOT 50 hours. We need exact numbers.
