    I'm gonna call just to waste their time

    Edit: Supposedly covered. I think brokers at times post BS loads at ridiculous rates, then say it's covered, just to make folks think they're able to.

    That $2.29 made me so lazy I didn't even have the energy to call. I had one call me for a rate on something similar. He didn't get mad or hang up, but after a brief silence, he said "sorry, I'm speechless". Lol, I didn't go to Arizona that day either. I really really miss the $5 to anywhere from anywhere days.

    I have had them on every OSOW hauling tractor since 1976 whether home made or store-bought. Here is one 89 flc120 loaded.jpg
    They are one of the best ways to "flag" the tractor when hauling wide or tall.
    It used to be we needed a vertical flag for tall only and horizontal for wide only and tall and wide needed flags angled at the front and rear of the unit.

    Man Honda is sure proud of their headlights. $84 for a single sealed beam. I'd convert but they made them 6.5" round vs the standard 7" round.

    Great picture. That narrow aluminum bumper on dad's 84 flc, was the same as his 88, and 90. He had local weld shop cut it up and put a "pocket" in the corners on a angle. Wooden stick and orange flags. Front and rear trailer. Back then you had to flag over weights in Michigan and run headlights at all time. With your 30day over weight permit in front windshield. Guess who ran permits till being pulled over and who's kid had to fill out a new one before the cop got to the truck. Yea, it was self reporting. They trusted you to fill it out and submit payment. That was a 8 axle Ohio rig, in Michigan. Flagged with a sidekit. No height or width issues. About all I can recall to repeat.
