    Pipe plant in Booneville, MS used to have you tarp just the nose of the load.

    won’t be a hand lever, be another switch on the dash to look for.
    Already have picture of truck rolling backwards with circle and slash, this one probably becoming down hill with circle and slash.

    But those penile stacks are just light weight tubing..... no mufflers, heat shields, or sound deadening. They save a bunch of weight by going outlaw.

    Will still be the same issue.... minimal open deck freight out of the area. The L.A. basin is a consumer of open deck freight not a producer of open deck freight.

    Well, maybe price It as "Front Haul" and at 3 times todays natl fuel avg of $3.09. Everyone whoever walked by a truck seems to understand "backhaul" pricing, but are ignorant of a rate chart. And with the new "density" dimension coming in, get up to par....
    When it gets hard (er) to get a truck to go to CA, the money will come. Still, won't be worth it.
