    Thanks for being kind, but no, it was stupid.
    Now....., if we only had some nails and a couple more 2x4's and my trucking buddy had taken a longer run at it at about 40 mph!
     
    Oxbow, cke and PoleCrusher Thank this.

    That may work on an old steel trailer, but not a new one with an arch.

    that is why you put a 2X4 or 4X4 under 1 or both ends of the container.

    I've seen dozens of guys at Landstar lately with 389's that have turned in their flatbeds for vans.

    Do these people have no sense of decency whatsoever?

    To completely cast aside all your beliefs. Your values. Become a door slammer just for a buck?

    I think these guys all deserve a place in the hall.

    I'd rather see my sister working in a ##### house than have a brother that was a flatbedder turned door slammer.

    I agree... I wish them nothing put success slamn doors.

    Seen a guy hauling a Amazon trailer the other day too. Chains swinging in the headache rack and nobby tires.

    Hope it works out for him too!

    I became a door slammer for an additional 4 bucks an hour right off the bat. Is that okay? ;)

    Door slammers, like us, are not allowed to form opinions.
