    You might be right, since he has to rescale it until it's right. :)...I have a feeling, either he got it reloaded and took off without saying anything since he's already invested too much time to sit..need to get going...or, they took it off of him and said asta lavista, baby. :)

    I’m not excusing the shipper and it’s crap that they didn’t give him a chance to rework it on Friday…..but he’s pulling a CA legal stepdeck and that can throw a curve to guys that are used to loading regular flats. And chances are that whatever is crated on the rear should’ve gone someplace else instead of behind the rear axle.

    Not that I ever intend on going to Commiefornia, but what’s a CA legal step deck? Or is it CA as in Canuckia?

    Stepdeck meeting the 40ft kingpin to rear axle law.. The axles are way far forward compared to say a 48ft flat which is exempt from Cali kingpin law... I always had a hard time scaling a 53ft step out legally... a bit different than if ur just used to a regular flat.

    I’d say Kalifornia by the look of that spread.

    Haven’t messed with stepdecks yet but now I see it, same as not loading the last few feet of a 53’box , messes up the axle weight on the rear axle grouping. Thanks for the explanation

    They run some odd ones up there. Don’t know much about them but it is a different animal I believe
