    What I see is a big difference in center of gravity.

    Yes and no. The top one is setting on the frame rails, the bottom looks like it's not. It's not that big of change, if you have a trailer for it. Look at it this way, it's under 10 foot from the ground. When your ltl dock boys stack heavy sheet high in a van, it's much taller. They put 16 foot of sheet 13 foot from the ground.

    On the last leg of our trip.
    Day four, now running empty, should be in the yard in 80 or 85 minutes if no accidents occur we have to stop for.
    My trainee is so used to being loaded that she said the truck feels weird empty...a good weird, but still weird.
    When we stopped four days ago and loaded up the armature to take to kitimat, she said well it doesn't look heavy, are you sure it weighs as much as they said. I drove it out of their yard and for the first 30 minutes or so, i said oh ya its heavy i can feel it. We switched sests, she drove about 90 seconds, said are you sure it doesn't weigh more than they told us lol

    Perhaps, but let’s assume for the sake of discussion it’s steel.
