    Completely different deal. I ran mostly steel.

    Yeah, I'm not dragging 1/2 inch chains in and out of a cabinet. The upper boxes are used for jumper cables, fuel filters, tools, spare exhaust clamps, airline and fittings, etc., stuff that isn't used often, but we run old crap equipment with no sleeper or sleeper boxes.

    My trailer boxes had a set of lumber tarps in the right and all my under/over steel tarps in the left. No room for anything else. Those East boxes had dunnage compartments built into their tops, so all my 4’ lumber and blocks were in there.
     
    Siinman, Feedman and Oxbow Thank this.

    I had to add a box to the neck of the trailer and still have stuff crammed anywhere I can find a spot.

    I run a lowboy. Chains hanging on the neck and in chain trays in the floor. I dumped the tarps 5 years ago. Haven’t missed them.

    That explains your chains staying on the trailer. I didn’t properly comprehend what you meant. *facepalm*

    No worries. When I ran a flat the chains stayed on the rack. And tarps stayed in trailer boxes.

    Some of those big cabinets are nice and have lots of room for all kinds of stuff.

    Screenshot_20230416_115953.jpg great dane is not doing good either . Overstock means hefty price cut to move inventory.
