    Basically they got it covered. The trailer is beefier to accommodate the concentrated weight. The last Big Bubba I had never lost its arch with 44-46k coils, whether it be stand ups or skidded.

    That's what I would call a specialty trailer. If you stop hauling coils you could always haul really heavy tires,lol.

    Alright, here’s another stupid question. If it’s heavy, can you get a permit for a coil?

    JD will know for sure but I was under the impression you cannot permit a divisble load and you must follow weight restrictions.

    That Pratt is slick.

    You can permit steel coils, i don’t know how many states but many you can.

    ...they don't consider coils divisble? I guess that depends on the coil?

    No they don’t, steel industry probably was involved in that way back.

    It is a state by state decision- to permit for over 80k with a commodity like steel. If it is a historically steel producing region, probably bet yes - if not bet no.
