Reitnouer or Mac trailer

There is not a removable panel on the deck or a hole in the front of 5th wheel plate?

 

I just took the access panel off....one screw.

 

No access panel. It's an 08. Maybe it's too old for such luxuries. I ended up squeezing my arm inside one of the inspection holes and the other one broke off. Not sure why they don't use aluminum rivets instead of bolts.

 

You see that last axle is in the air? It has 255 rubber on it: that really would not get you a whole lot in New York. Has to be a steerable lift, but without big fat float tires, you’re not gonna get the weight that you would need. Also I’d be hard-pressed to think somebody with a 53 foot flat would be permitting for weight/ Because your Outerbridge would be almost 20 feet longer than what is necessary for the 7 axle permit Whether upstate or downstate.


For example a lot of the mason yards in the city have four axle flatbed trailers that they utilize to go pick up at manufacturers. If you load a 48 foot flatbed with cubes of retaining wall block, bagged lime or pallets of cement; you’d probably gonna be pretty close to gross with a front to back load I.e. quickrete cement is 3280 pounds per pallet. 24 skids And you’re at the weight limit already with a 117k permit

 

So does the regular guy need a 4 axle to work local down there…?

 

for dump trailer work, thats how tonnage is rated, for 35 tons or better
For open deck, it would be somewhat limiting i think as a small carrier as you would be penalized for interstate work if youre limited to 80k gross, with the heavier trailer. Most companies that ship their own product run 6/7 axle combos if they are somewhat local/ intrastate

CT should get with the New England program…. 100K on 6……

 

Id prefer 73,280 and 42’ trailers personally/

 

I was told the samething by a guy with a tridem hauling coils only. Said it swade side to side going around a corner to.

Just what i was told. Had a nice arch loaded next to me.

 

@Ruthless you like Mac flats ? I have first hand knowledge their tanks suck to work with…. No clue on flats tho…
