    Guy who did it had actually been driving for 25 years, was his first accident. he was just really tired, got distracted.

    im more mad at his company that I am at him, he admited he was wrong, it was like pulling a donosaur through a knott hole to get them to admit the same.

    I have an '08 Utility....Not bad.....

    They come pretty barren....No scales....No boxes....
    I had to add them....
    I have three tool boxes, scale, back-up lights for each side....and It's probably the only trailer with matching Pete rims......


    If I had to go out to replace it.....
    This is what I covet..... [​IMG]

    thier little safety clown gave me a speech about how he was responsible to his share holders and what not, I then asked him if his share holders would view being sued for emotional distress, loss of income, and the replacement of the equipment as a good thing.

    Within 5 days of that conversation I had a check in my hands.

    10' upper, 40' lower, and either a movable king pin so you can be CA legal, or a 3rd axle that is liftable or a slideable back axle.

    a 48' 11/37 or 10/38 will make you money, and isnt a bad place to start when you are starting out, but ultimately you will want the specialized step that I listed before.

    MAC is the only trailer I would buy again. When I was shopping around I wanted 1 that would do 80,000 in 4 feet. Most said not possible the one said maybe MAC said how many do you want. I have had 79300 on it in 4 feet it had more arch than my phantom x that was beside it and the phantom was empty.
