    Sorry that was 51k lbs with my 48' flat. The company conistoga is a 53' and 1800 lbs heavier. I don't haul much that heavy either but was telling you so you know when I'm booking off the board I CAN haul just about everything available. As long as it's 4' tarps or less!!! Lol

    Just took a load to Denver for my coustemer on Monday. 1k lbs, 22' long, 10" wide and 10" tall. No tarp lol.

    @bzinger Short runs do get kinda boring. But the excitement comes when a motorhome decides he is merging no matter what and we are side by side as he is coming down the on ramp. Freeway is down to one lane for construction and I am grossing 132k.

    @scottied67 you paying attention?

    Even though I was in the right as I was on the interstate and he on the ramp, thus his responsibility to yield. I was the one that hit the brakes to avoid a collision or a close call.

    I guess I'm gonna stop complaining about my two hour drive to Laredo from San Antonio once a week. If I never see Nebraska ever again it'll be one time too many lol.
