    If that's something you know before hand I just leave the both axles inflated. Makes more sense to have the rear on air instead of the internal bumpers. Trailer was designed to be operated with no dump valves.

    I see dudes dumping the rear for everything except a straight line sometimes!

    Figured I'd upload some of mine. This was before I switched over to leasing onto them.

    Two identical loads. Took the other driver and I about 3 1/2 hours to tarp them both. Six furniture blankets, about 300 sq. feet of carpet, two 32'x32' machine tarps and two lumber tarps. Not alot of sharp edges at all. It was a new customer who is looking to get rid of their "broker" and work with us directly because they aren't getting good service.

    Okie dokie, here's the pics from the pipe load out of Casper, WY which I delivered earlier this afternoon. 11 straps and 2 chains.

    Got to go to the yard tomorrow and change trailers to haul a couple units, one to Ill, and then pick up some kind of partial, maybe going to where the other unit is going, WA. I don't like the looks of this. Have chains, will not use. :D

    Here's a challenge. I took these when I stopped for a load check. Can you see what I had to do?
