    I hauled several of those, most always went to an interesting delivery.

    That’s the way they should unload them.


    That pic was after they took theirs. Pallets are 102”x54” on the large ones, so the space is best utilized across the deck when hauling them. I load in stop order and cube the trailer most every load.

    So they're switching from the brick ####house to a concrete one?

    With all the wolves in the park now they’re worried that multiple huffs and puffs will blow the old ones down. These concrete ones will withstand it.
    What’s amazing to me is that each piece weighed 8 tons.

    I used to have the same problem with my bug deflector breaking off like that. Finally added two more brackets toward the ends and it hasn't happened since.

    i HATE those 10lbs of crap (you know the other word that starts with an S) in a 5lb bucket load

    and no matter how many times you tell them THIS IS A FLATBED NOT A VAN, they don't get it

    little pieces and parts of crap everywhere.
     
    stwik, PoleCrusher and Czar_Zero Thank this.

    do those bug deflectors do any good? I've never driven a big truck with one, only pickups and I couldn't notice a difference with or without it.

    I’m going to take mine off, and see if it changes anything. Pretty sure the giant hood on the W9 deflects most things.

    IMO they work. Keeps bugs off better in the summer, keeps snow and road spray down in winter.
