    Just under 11'10" wide and 13'8" tall. Gotta love loading over size on Friday. Can only run til noon all weekend in Florida. Then no Sunday running in Bama or Mississippi. IMG_0371.JPG IMG_0376.JPG

    One of the best-tarped loads of steel I've done to date, aside from the tarp having horribly placed D-ring strips making it very difficult to tension properly. Also did a small LTL pickup of cedar and knotty pine log-cabin siding today, but totally forgot to take pictures. :(

    That's a pretty neat looking thing. What is it?

    Couple local moves I did yesterday. 2 Loads of casting patterns at 10'8" wide and another Electric Motor. At least it was sunny out so I didn't have to tarp it.

    2 pieces. Forklift mast and spreader.

    Picks up container trailers at rail yards. Attempted to sleep at consignee last night. Between the train horns and UPS intermodal jerks this morning, it wasn't much!

    @Razororange How do you secure your riser?

    Ours wobble a bit in the stake pockets so usually throw a strap over top or chain when loaded.

    Straps usually if they aren't pinned to the trailer. Most of ours are held in by pins below the pockets. Those ones I just throw a couple bungies on and pull tight.

    Honestly I've only used them like twice in 3 years. They tend to be in my way more than anything.
     
    Peelsession Thanks this.
