Post your flatbed load pictures here

I'm doing good up here in nodak land hauling frac sand for a bit. You doing good? You'll like the stretch opens up a whole new world of freight.

 

yeah I been doing not bad, mostly been moving sorta tall loads . still learning everyday. working my way up and askng questions. hoping come spring I cna start moving some larger stuff and find some good guys to work with. concerned with running the stretchas a 6 axle and not as a 7 axle

 

Yes it's a Trail King. TK 90 model.
The crane I hauled was a Terex rt555. 82 on the deck.
This trl. has a 29' well closed. Was up tight against the neck and still like 1000 over on trl. So I opened it 1 notch to transfer the weight. I still allmost had it all the way to the neck to get the weight down on the rear.
I really like pulling the stretch. Like you said it opens a whole new world for freight. Now if they just want to pay for the stretch.
I've turned down some lds. that brokers need a stretch, but wanna try for van rates.. Not happening.

 

My usual response to those brokers is "will it go on a flatbed?" Broker: no it's too big for a flat. Me: then why are you offering flatbed rates? Usually ge hung up on after that. I've learned tho that most brokers have no clue what it takes to move big loads I love the ones who think that a 15 wide and 16 tall on the trailer an go 700 miles overnight. Anyway that is a #### good stretch I think I might go make a deal on this one I've got my eye on.

 

You won't have any trouble with the 6 axle just watch what you put on the deck and always load the heavy end to the back.

 

Thanks, I am looking a tk100 and hope to have it soon. Just concerned I won't be able to take it to California. I know for most that is a good thing but being in CO I end up there often.

 

Going to have to upgrade the truck in a few years too I guess. Get the trailer now and get it paid for so you can get that new CARB truck..... ugh, I'm sorry

 

Ugh I don't know about that. Besides if I go to a carb compliant truck I will have to get a 4 axle and as a leisure trucker I can't possibly afford that.

 

passingthru, you pick that crane up in IA just north of waterloo?

 

Yep, Good Ol Waverly, Ia.
