    My new trailer is going to have 14 winches on each side. I think it will be nice having them on both sides for loads like that.

    What is your rear axle to rear of trailer measurement? It looks like you axles are in the middle of the lower deck. I am just used to looking at our trailers with the axles to the rear.

    Spent 4 hours at the shipper telling them to put dunnage in between the lower three and the top beams so that I could strap it down properly. The guys response "this is how we load". Then when I told him to take it all off and I'm leaving he finally gave in and said ok we'll put dunnage under it. What should have took 30 minutes turned in to 4 hours.

    One of the main reasons I carry my own dunnage and just throw it on where I want it. The only reason they complain is because they're trying to save a few dollars on scraps of wood.
