    Looks like you might have started it in #14 when you left a code open while doing a partial quote. Every quote after that one is messed up because of that. I can go back and fix it all, but it would take some time. The simple thing to do is to just stop quoting those and the problem will work itself out.

    i never did flatbed so to speak. however, i did load/secure my own drill rig and several pieces of tooling and random equipment on a mix of flatbed and drop deck trailers. nothing like loading a rubber track morooka from the 80s with a $75k drill rig mounted to it..in sub zero temps using metal ramps. old hydraulics are lethargic at best in those temps without hours to warm up. the track footprints literally met the edge of the trailer on both sides. i loaded that stuff for several years before getting a class a.

    now i pull vans. mostly roll up doors that are already loaded and sealed when i get there. pretrip and roll. drop/hook and book - return to base, post trip and go home. in my case the vans pay far better with much less work. and home daily, off weekends, many paid holidays, all benefits paid for etc etc. love it.

    thanks for getting us back on track, @freebeertomorrow .. man, i need one NOW after all that; 'cept I work the vampire shift tonight, LoL. GAWD that was crazy. None of the above quotes worked out right; ya gotta view the original posts. IDKWTF. I'm old and not tech-savvy. India took our telecom jobs when I was 20, ergo how I got into trucking; LoL.
    @TripleSix I am so sorry.... mucho respect mi'mano.
