    They brought the trailer back to cloud and had all the tower guys there for a meeting. The trailer was one of the new Gen3 trailers, they are built for the Seimens bases, but they have been butting Vestas bases on them that are 20-30K heavier and two foot narrower. The old boy that I talked to said that the Vestas bases do not sit right in the lower arms of those Gen3 trailers, they put to much stress on a small part of the arms.

    The Mothership trying to rig stuff up? Say it aint so.....Pretty soon you will shatter all my illusions of them mate!
    They were pulling the big Siemens blades out of Ia this year on their new fancy 3 axle blade trailers. Only problem was, the drivers couldn't get to 40k on the drives! One guy stripped the truck right down, even removing the TV from the sleeper! They said to run them and they would pay the tickets in Ia. Only problem is.....You get rearended and a family dies. Lawyer does his homework and you are over 40k in Ia. You go to jail not the big wigs....Our 3rd truck this year told them to stuff it when he was at 42k on the drives.

    I agree, they aren't the most pleasant things to look at.

    From what I've heard from guys that have been hauling them bases for many years is that ATS tried using those lightweight trailers a few years ago as well. They were too light and the end of the base had more weight and caused them to get "pushed" a lot. So they went back trying to redesign them?? Either way, somebody screwed the pooch on that one.

    This was what they call a Gen. 3 trl. They just started using them late last year and more early this year.
    The problem is I believe is they are like a lot of the bigger players. Trying to haul more weight, but using less steel..
    Kinda like using a Can van trl. to haul roll paper in it all the time..
