    I have to ask myself why?

    Why build it, why buy it.
    One rock on those rails and its screwed.
    Ice, snow, anything.

    Buy an end dump instead, or gravel truck and pup, hell even side dump super b.

    It was pretty slick though. A bit heavy on the empty weight, I'd imagine.

    By the grace of god we literally were spared by about 60 miles, I think it’s one of the worst storms Florida has seen, it has messed up my work schedule though, hoping to at least get out today and pre load something to start the week. Enjoy the weekend in Colorado @motocross25 dont indulge yourself in all the offerings of that great state :)

    @NightWind I ventured up to your area Thursday morning and loaded at Little River over off of Hunters Loop Rd, that was a first for me, but heck I haven't loaded out of little river in almost 2 years probably, was hoping to run in to you, but not this time. Hope things are good for you, maybe we'll catch you next time.

    @Trashtrucker1707 So strange, as I was around there Thursday and Friday! Dang I hate I missed seeing you. I still look for you every time I see one of your company trucks.
    Had my Wink trailer sold on consignment, seems some one in FL bought it, drives a blue Pete a 579 I believe my buddy told me. I haven't seen him/her. I'm pulling my old Vantage trailer again. I will buy another one but going to to WAY more research into them than before. I though I had done a good jib but I guess not. I will say this NOTHING dumps or pulls as good as the Wink did. I'm looking at Mac or Trailstar, depending on who can get me what I want at the weight I require. With my Pete at 22K it'll have to be under 11K (triaxle trailer) or 9500K for a tandem. We shall see.
    I saw you are thinking about moving towards MO if I read that correctly. Why? I looked at moving to TN or KY but well everything is paid for here so......

    MO is where my wife is from and she'd really like to give it a try again, and I'm willing to do that. I'm very nervous to leave my familiar surroundings, but I can honestly say that I've grown very tired of Florida, I'm not sure that MO is my forever home, but I'm willing to give it a shot. My sister and my parents are in Nashville, which I love, but the cost of real estate there is through the roof, and unfortunately well out of our budget.
