Tarping systems

Yep, and with the way Indy is going, I may be making a call there too if they don't get their butts in gear!!!

 

HOLY SHEET

 

It takes skill....

I just asked the wife if she'd try that for me.....

I'll let you know the outcome....

 

Nope sorry cut all my hair off over a year ago and I don't smoke Virginia Slims...

 

I know where theirs theirs a nice hardly used 09 Reitnoure(sp) with a almost new rolltite setup with your name on it. Might not be a rolltite but you get the point

 

I have an 18" king pin and the rear axle is set to be just barely CA legal. If you're hauling heavy, yes, it is useless. I usually don't haul heavy, though. It's pretty much my ltl spot. Works pretty well, you just have to load heavy freight a bit farther forward than normally.

The big benefits to me are that it lets me gross out in CA if I need to. Because of my sleeper and where my 5th wheel is I have a hard time getting enough weight on the steers. In CA, where you would normally have to close the axles, I don't have to so I can still put 40k back there.

The other big benefit is that my extra long truck now maneuvers like I'm pulling a 40' trailer. Gotta watch the overhang, tho.

 

Quick Draw. He's a nice guy.

 

It's now $374/wk when you include tax (rent is subject to sales tax). That does include all maintenance including tires, and all flatbedding equipment.

I can't say for sure what their logic is, but it seems that rentals are available only to get noobs started (but they'll let you keep renting at $374/wk as long as you want). I think they really want to encourage buying your own equipment.

I guess I should also say that we're at 87 - 90%. We do pay for our own trailer if we aren't renting and we also pay our own cargo insurance, but with such a high percentage it all works out pretty well.
