    I get a few of those trucks a year. Decent payers, but sure like the new ones better than the previously enjoyed ones. I’d almost haul the new ones cheaper, but then I come to my senses.

    The worst thing about these isn’t the height. It’s the disgusting residue that they leave on your deck, and chains, etc. this one was a landfill runner, so it had that nasty caked on greasy/trash/dirt combo that would shake loose bouncing down the road.

    If you put the can forks down over the neck you can lose 8 to 10 inches of height on many of those trucks.

    My Aspen stretches. I pull it out a hole, drop the rear drive into the gap, take the steer tires off and drop the arms down on the platform. I can get those to 14’ so I can run at night with them.
