    Never seen a 16ft super sack, nor a 70k payload single flat.

    There are many 70k divisable loads moving today in the PNW including MT,SD,UT,WY,ID,OR and WA.
    That includes super sac loads, lumber and all sorts of other things.

    It is easy to load 70k on a 8 axle flatbed tractor/single trailer unit.

    Just curious did you have the straps wenched all on one side or opposite sides so it was pulling from both sides?

    I didn't know your leased to Mercer, did you get one of those Dash Cams they sell?
     
    Tug Toy and Lepton1 Thank this.

    Do i see it correctly that the base off the crate is steel?
    No wood where it contacts your deck?

    Ouch, chains must’ve had slack. How much did it weigh?

    I've seen plenty of maxi lumber loads, but those are two trailers. And a few 5 axle flats in MI. Not doubting that it's done, just dont see it much.
     
    Tug Toy Thanks this.

    Both sides.
    I'm not with Mercer, just bought the trailer from a guy who was.

    Yea and they wouldnt allow 4x4s under it. Wouldnt fit anyway, because the base is mostly hollow and 9 ft wide, so my dunnage wouldnt reach both sides.

    33k, no slack, but then again, only had 2 hook up to pull from the rear. Now I've spidered the chains to disperse the force.
