    How heavy were your drives?
    What is the yellow line/hose on the d/s air cleaner?

    Im the exact same way. sometimes i feel like im too paranoid to be a flatbedder. my neck hurts all the time from constantly looking in my mirrors and checking things out and stopping to look sometimes.

    I used to be like that when I first started, I still keep an eye on things but don't worry about it anymore. It takes a little gettin comfortable with.

    I was 15100 on the steer 54620 on the drives and 71880 on the trailer 141,640 gross. The yellow line is actually my extension cord so I can plug in at night it's just where I store it easier to coil it up there than coil it up and put it in my truck somewhere.

    That's some serious steer and drive weights! No single axle jeeps sitting around?

    I had one laying in the yard but it doesn't have lights and I had to run down bobtail last night so it wouldn't have worked. I knew I was going to be close but Wyoming gives 55000 on a tandem and whatever you can get on the steer so I was ok. Had to slide all the way forward though because I started at 56430 on my drives that's why the steer was so heavy. The truck that broke down was a four axle so it was loaded for a triple on the drives glad he didn't load it super heavy on the front.
