    Well. My old trailer finally bit the big one. So I ordered a 54x102. Lol. For some reason this site won't let me log on from my desktop. I'd post pics but this thing is not iPhone friendly it seems. Anyways. Specs are. 54x102. 12 foot fixed spread. It's a white side. But it goes for paint next week. Guess things aren't all that bad in this industry. Lol. Also has 6 interior LED lights for the inside. Anyways. If an admin would email me so I can log on from my desktop. It would be great.

    With interior LEDs im thinking Dane--and we have a Dane specs same and I love it--I know couple guys that run Cali still w/one and the 12 spread has seemed to do the trick w/kingpin crap there although I still can't figure out how--lol
    Word of advice tho if u run east b real careful esp. NY& CT since neither will allow had axle beyond 50' one o those things that rarely comes up but if it does ouch
    Enjoy ur new wagon

    Hauling one more foot of product than a 53, of course. :biggrin_25520:

    If memory serves, I think OP hauls a reefer. On a serious note, that could be a little extra space for a pallet jack, some bulkheads, or whatnot.

    Would that trailer being 54' just mainly be used out west. I know Tx. and Al. you can run 57's but where else could you go with it?
