    I remember well the thousand yard stares I used to get trying to explain that to people.

    I think that's now something else green that became legalized recently. Tough to make it killing trees now.

    My friend hauled out of Interfor, he said it got so cheap he had to quit (you had to net 64k/lbs). Lots of nice trucks parked in yards here & seem to be replaced with duct-taped-fender white brand-x's. I saw one going down the road with a lift axle cobbled in almost under the sleeper- the sleeper was cut to clear it when it was up & (it looked like) a garbage can cut up and duct taped in place to keep his pillow from getting wet. No kidding.

    @Chewy352 Here you go!

    Two 3/8" in an X on front and back coil. Two 5/16" each on the other 3.

    Im surprised you didn't chain down 4x4s fore and aft as bulk heads. Still pretty though, looks like a advertisement for the steel company

    Oh, and the load securement math thread you and TripleSix were going over. I used that center KP to center trailer drives divide by two, in order to have the middle skid in the center of my axle groups.

    This dumb trucker used math and a tape measure! :eek:

    I've read about them on here, and seen them going down the road. But that's it for my knowledge on bulkheads.

    Sorry. That's Flatbedding 202, I'm still on 101. (I have a feeling some education will follow......)
