    Having my trailer out that far can make me wish I still had a cab over pretty quick. There’s a nervous breakdown in getting on and off any of the east coast ports once you stretch it more than one hole. Especially with a third pinned on it.

    It can get interesting quick. I’ll be 15’ tall and 40’ in the well tomorrow coming out of a Newerk, nj port. Same size as what’s shown but thankfully a no tarp container load.

    Every project we do has at least one phase that’s mostly flat rack stuff. High or high and wide. What messes me up the most is they don’t usually come on normal container boats, or normal container ports. Usually ro-ro or heavy lift, and who knows where they may land it. That grade profile sign is the road down into one little port that’s a bit of a regular. I’d rather do that than any of those east coast places you’re in and out of though.
