    Fixed 3 axle or flips? If you can negotiate a deal LP would go for, we might be in business. I think I want to stick with a flip. I am a little nervous to jump in with both feet.

    There were some flips and some fixed. They were up the interstate a couple of exits, just seen them in passing.

    You obviously have never been in the Pape yard on a Friday when things are busy. Every square inch of trailer gets used. You'd be surprised at the number of times a great combo load gets complicated because you need space for the duals. We usually find it but it can get complicated. I have a certain load in mind where we got quite creative.

    Phone call in the morning goes like this.
    Boss I dropped the towaway.
    Great head over to the Fontaine plant in Al. I got a power only ld. for you going to Ca. Then I'm working on a power only ld. from Stockton, Ca. to Miami.
    Then I'll see if we can get you a container and chassis from there back up to Ia.

    Have you stood them up and wedge them between other items?

    If the heavy haul gig doesn't work out for you, come and see me about a dispatch job.
