    Fixed is fine with a dump. No dump and you’re in the northeast every week — it isn’t fun. Sure, everyone else can do it. I understand that. I like the flexibility of options — I have none here.

    It’s easier to slide a pin than rework a load. That’s my take anyway. Especially when you’re on mileage pay and time is money...

    If I was an o/o I’d buy what I needed. :)

    I've got mine set about 4 holes back from the front. No matter what goes on the deck, steers come in at 11,400 with full tanks. I'd assume if I loaded 30,000 lbs of product overhanging the front of the trailer, it'll change the weight on the steers, but I'd agree, a sliding fifth wheel won't change much for a flatdeck truck.

    Great googly moogly, do they let you keep the tray? It looks like it would make a nice drain pan for oil and transmission fluid.
