    Some make it hauling, some make it load/unload. Just be sure you get "proportionate hauling".
    Share the wealth (thinly). We live in inflated times.

    DuPont used to have a chemical op along US 80, N FL/S GA Line. Used stumps for making dynamite. Have you ever followed a junk iron hauler in the south? Imagine 2 lane, FL fog, 1955-56 following a bob truck load of stumps. He is bouncing along, stumps are shifting and slithering backward. Secured ??? They are stacked tight, whats the prob, bro.

    I’m woke, for the second time. Waking up twice on a Monday. Good or bad. On one hand, I went back to bed after delivery. Just because I could. On the other hand, I’m still facing the inevitable. Coffe time. I’ll have to study on that for a while.

    Well, stopped for my 90 annual on my truck. Wrench checks the lights, and windshield wipers. Then checks my rear end and says one of my hubs is leaking, so I can't pass you. But, if you repair the hub, I'll pass you.
    Fine, fix the the hub.
    Fixing the hub and, oh by the way, you have to replace your brake shoes because I got hub oil all over them.
    Fine, replace the shoes.
    So, 5 hours later I'm finally rolling home for a little R&R, and then this: 20211018_124851.jpg

    What’s the problem? Brakes locked up on Truck? Same new brakes? Blown hose? Chamber leaking?

    Back the brake off and crimp the line with vice grips. Still legal to run.
