Post your flatbed load pictures here

I'm not exactly sure......it's not a color you see everyday, when/If I order a truck I'm going to tell them I want the ridiculous color on the color wheel

 

Yeah shippers and receivers defiantly will remember you.

 

oh people remember me as it is, lol that'll help

 

The holes weren't big enough, the hooks were 5/16 and couldn't get inside. I originally started taking the clevis out of the hooks to thread the chain through, but opted to tying them down that way instead. Besides with the straps on it, it had more than enough for 4,000 lbs. The stack was 9,000 lbs and it had 30,000 lbs securement.

 

We have a winner.

 

How do you like your new Freightshaker?

 

Yeah, I should probably do that, but they issue it, I use it the best I can. When I'm buying the equipment, I'll get what I need. As I said, I started to remove the hooks to thread the chain....but that was a lot of spare cotter pins going by the wayside.

I'll probably pick up some clevis shackles, but I didn't expect to need them yet, this was a rush job to get me my new truck.

 

So far I'm loving it. That Diesel APU is the bomb. You're right though, it's a bit tight. Though I have more "storage" compartments, it's definitely smaller.....I noticed it when I closed the curtains and realized I lost room between the seat and the bed.

But......I have to trim what I've brought with me too, ie, I don't need my inverter now, it comes with one, Radio/CD player... it has one, so I can leave that home...and just streamline a few things.

I have a problem with the ducting running through my "working" storage areas... I'm afraid I'll crush it and be screwed with the HVAC not being able to work.

I almost had a load to Casper, WY, but dispatch didn't realize they wanted a Friday delivery, ....which I couldn't have done loading late in the day today, otherwise I'd be sitting on it till Next Wednesday. But if I had to at least I've got most of the comforts of home now with the new truck.

 

Yeah the other thing your going to hate is the mirrors. When it starts to rain or snow they are going to get covered and your not going to be able to see out of them. What i do is use rainx glass cleaner on them.

 

My mirror are heated, are yours?

I'm not sure about the hood ones though....but the cab mirrors are heated.
