    11 4K pound pallets. Would you rather have them all centered done the trailer or split into two groups?

    We were having Problems getting flatbeds to haul stone from Oklahoma to Missouri, so we started to use dry vans. They usually came in split into two groups.

    Flatbedders do it all the time. Half the load up front half at the back. Easier on the equipment since the load is not all centered in the middle

    8 axles on this setup. 62,000 pounds of 50% sodium hydroxide solution. 4900 gallons in a 7200 gallon tube. It is 2 compartments but each one is smooth bore. 32,000 pounds in the front 30,0000 in the back. Gets interesting if you forget you’re hauling liquid. :eek::eek::eek:

    It could be possible he meant 8 feet between ALL the skids, in which case you'd need a trailer 200 feet long. :biggrin_25520::biggrin_25523:

    Are there loading docks at both ends here, or does someone somewhere have to move those monsters with a pallet jack?
