    Nice setup @Ruthless !

    How you like loading and unloading the buggy so far?

    Well.... It's a lot more straight forward when you're loading it into a pocket vs onto a pocket; if that makes sense.

    I'll get her figured. Still not 100% on the placement of the bracket on the deck.

    I was gonna ask you if you liked it there.

    The one I pulled was further back to where when the buggy was loaded, the rear buggy tire was at the edge of the trailer.

    Gave me little more room on the deck for pieces of pipe or longer stuff that I couldn't separate out.

    Lol weeeeeellllll all the way at the back is where it's sposed to be.... got her halfway on n the carriage wasn't wanting to slide: started pushing n one of the straps busted so I stuffed the throttle n ran it much further ahead than needed. Don't need a moffett crushing me to death to be the last memory the kid had of me!

    Ohhhh.....Well that makes more sense brother.


    Lol, I was wondering what kinda experiment you had goin on there. Thought maybe you figured out how to change the weather patterns loading it like that.

    Carry on....

    Have mixed feelings on this one. Had it all loaded, and chaining it down when the broker called to let me know the customer changed the delivery to Wednesday instead of Tuesday. Obviously that causes me to lose a day of wages, so we negotiated some layover pay. Now I’m just sitting home waiting to leave tomorrow. My next issue is they said it was 25,000# which turned out to be 38,000#. I don’t particularly like that much weight in such a small space on my deck. EC605B90-A89A-4735-B744-AF0B05EBC649.jpeg
