    I got to play in that. Flat bedder did a tuck and roll and closed all 3 lanes of traffic. I heard it was a fatality wreck.
    So, me and everybody else decided to jump on 41....2 lanes of Georgia's rural glory.
    So, the 240 mile trip took just over 6 hours to do.

    The last time I needed a trailer. They pulled a truck off a trailer with a wrecker. The trailer wasn't logged into the system for a load in over a month. They charged the BCO for the wrecker to be used. Gave him two days to unhook, but no response from emails, text, phone. So 800 or a 1000? For a wrecker.

    It's one agent in particular that is well known for this.

    It's like walking through the yard in your bare feet where you know the dogs ####.

    And you continue to walk through that part of the yard in the dark hoping for a different result.

    Opus please. Everyone knows dry vans are the scourge of this industry. Please do not attempt to tell the truth, I mean demean flat bedders.

    you mean like this guy????
    3 truck crash on US 97 in Oregon yesterday AM
    A CMV, hauling a loaded flatbed trailer was driving southbound when he attempted to pass on a corner in a no-passing zone at a high rate of speed in the dark. While passing, the operator slammed on the brakes leaving over 200 feet of skid marks before the trailer partially jackknifed and struck this northbound red CMV nearly head-on, tearing off the entire right side of the cab.

    Might be the same rogue dude......
