    What is it? A Petty boom? It's hard without pics. If it's what I think and you have the bed space, you could load it with the boom forward.

    the problem is the deck isnt long enough to haul it boom foward and then all the weight is behind the drive axles....still workin on pics. the pieceim hauling is a JLG 600s boom lift. the axle tag said 13400 lbs on it for weight. its a meitor front axle. the bottom line in my opinion is the company needs to quit wasting time and money on the toy trucks and just break down and buy a semi and beavertail trailer like every other company in similar bussiness do. they tried to do too much with too little of a truck

    Heh, thought so. Easy to haul on a flatbed and a ##### to haul on a rollback. They need some day cabs with Landolls.

    I get the picture now. You have the wrong equipment for the job.

    They don't have to lose money on them. There's plenty of money to be made if they just use them properly. Those trucks hold their value too. They could just sell them and buy what they need without losing much at all. Considering the profit they've already made with them, they'd probably come out ahead.
