    Anyone ever haul one of these? I’m running military on Monday to Tucson, and this pig back to San Diego. Gonna need to stretch, gonna be 10.5 wide, like 82’ overall length, and like 90k lbs. I’ve never hauled one, doesn’t look to weird, other than long. 5A9CBF7F-BD1A-4EBA-8BE4-71DD90AC1E69.png

    This is where all our flatbed magic happens!

    Just added two more desks to our operators because we can’t keep up!

    This was our $3000 Richie bro buy which took a month of hard work magic to make her look like this!

    When I first retired I didn’t think I would use mine anymore so I let it expire. A buddy offered me some work a few months ago requiring a new TWIC. So I went and renewed it, pretty easy here, applied online and then just went to the local Staples store for the interview. The work has yet to materialize but at least I can use my TWIC for TSA pre-check…

    I'm in Gerald, MO going to Mayfield, TX. Trip is 677 miles. Im not 100% sure I can make it in one shift, and I'm wondering if this is a case for split sleeper. I've never mastered it, because I don't see it applying to what I do very often. If I stay here at the shipper and use my remote control tarps in the sleeper for three hours, then get on the road for a few hundred miles, then stop for seven hours, would I be able to make it by 8:30am?

    Or should I just go off duty, tarp, and in ten hours get up and try to make it? Here's a pic of my hours, and Google map adjusted to truck route.

    Wow! Remote control tarps that you can operate from the sleeper, what’ll they think of next…When I did food service, I had a trailer that would unload itself after I went off duty, but that was 30 yrs ago…
