Which flatbed for reliability/ longevity hauling coils?

I still run a 42' what more do you need. I can way overload that. Why drag another 6 foot?

 

Never liked the big singles, plus the rates suck. Now not afraid to put a 40 in the front, and 40 in the rear. Maybe slip a LTL in the middle however.

 

Nope 1996 Fruehauf steel/alum combo 42' 96" wide, Its a antique. If your gonna haul heavy, short as you can. If your gonna haul just open deck general freight get a 48'.

 

Only need 5 foot for a coil, you know how many will fit on a 48'.

 

I guess, I have nothing good to say about reits, worked on them when new and they didn't stay together. I hear that that problem if fixed but idk. Personally I would like fontaines (side rail) but never had one. East or mac is great. I hear there is a Xtreme trailer built in Dover Ohio. I want more info on them. I checkout their website. Im interested, would be worth a drive for me.

 

I have a Fontaine. I really like it except for throwing chain on some loads. It has chain pulls and if the load is wide enough to cover them it can be a pain with the way the rail is designed.
