Why? Just... Why???

Dang brother, looks like you need a side load on that trailer.

 

OP asked a question and didn't like the answers he got, could just let things go but we're going to keep beating a dead horse.

 

That still wouldn’t have worked there. Funny thing is I ran California with that big trailer for 4 years and there was only one place I ever went in all that time that had to be side load only. So we loaded my friend and he backed up to me so I could load, then we went back and loaded him again.

 

Must be a Mac thing. My front axle is a lift as well. Looks like yours doesn't go up very high. Neither does mine. Maybe 3" or so. Frigging hate it. When I have it up I tend to skid my front tires on everything. Actually thinking of putting tall rubber on the back and low pro on the front just to get a little more height out of it. Beyond that, I love my Mac trailer!

 

I'm drunk!

 

Right on. I have loaded at some junky places before. I have a side load on mine and used it fairly often. My spread axle was a 4 deck. I had to ground load sheep one time. Holy how what a pita! Sheep where diving off this little ramp this guy made. It was short too. So when I was loading the top deck from the outside, that ramp was at like a 2/1 angle. Told that guy never again.

 

I never did the sheep thing. Back when I was running west we had the fats out of Montana to Fresno and then load calves coming east. Back in 2012 to 2014 it was a pretty decent triangle but then other people started knocking the rates down to get the work. I’d bring calves to CO or western KS and then head up to MT and go back to Fresno. Couple of those every week was a pretty decent paycheck back then.

When I finally got caught with the big trailer I did pull a 4 deck Merritt for a while, but I pulled the boards out for the top deck “to save weight” but really I didn’t want to haul sheep. Haha.

 

Like I said, I’m not reading these comments and I’ve stopped following the thread but I do want to keep coming back and telling my stories and trying to prove why I’m right…..

Guess I’ve had my fill of troll food this morning. I hear anymore about how he isn’t reading the comments blah blah, I’m gonna have to start drinking way to early

His intense dislike for CAT makes me think he drives a Paccar motor or something.

 

Hey I resemble that remark. Lol. Well I don’t dislike like Cats, it’s just that I have a Paccar. Hahahaha.
