    Absolutely not! 14.0 - 13.9 = 1. I used a calculator so don't say I'm wrong! :p

    I have no idea how close I am to being correct. My guess is I've missed several crucial parts.

    But yes, my answer was much more complete.

    In the past 2 years, Who all has seen the dude with the white Cascadia and mailbox letters on the door pulling a 48 foot aluminum step deck and a 60k piece of equipment sitting just rear of the neck, making the rear axle on the trailer flex skyward?

    That’s so he doesn’t have to move the first piece when he goes to load the second. After all, that’s good enough for us in the LTL business. Just move all the skids to the front when we’re picking up. :rolleyes:
