    If you take the two mats on top and put one on each stack they balance out the same.

    But then you don't have a shady spot to lay down on the deck!

    My gauge tells me my drives weigh about 39,500 lbs (of 40,000 allowed) with no adjustments after deciding where I wanted center of load. Beautiful.

    Yep that's just one trailer there, you should have seen the 48'-50' spread axle tandem who came in after me... Some real trouble backing in because of the building layout outside, inside the building itself there's plenty of room as you can see.

    46k lbs on the deck there... Waiting at this second pickup place to put ~11,000 lbs (tarped) on the pup, then it's off to Nova Scotia.

    Tarping isn't always bad. When it doesn't take all day and comes out looking decent I don't mind it so much, even in this heat.

    #2.

    11k lbs turned into about 3,400 lbs... Originally supposed to be four bundles, two of those were supposed to be 48 feet long. These remaining two are 20 feet. Stacked, 3 straps over the top plus 2 chokers.
