Hauling my own car in my trailer *pics*

[NascarFan]

"146mph in 9.48 seconds" I understand this.

But not this. "with a 1.36 60'"

That is the time it takes the vehicle to travel the first 60' of the track. They break time slips down into 60', 330' 660' (1/8 mile) and 1/4 miles. It's used to judge where you need to adjust/tune your car...if my car was running slower, I would look at the 60', see if I am lacking in the traction area. Usually in two well-matched cars, the first 60' is where the race is won or lost. In street trim Bandit's Typhoon might beat me, but if we go out to the highway and go from say a 40mph punch.....it would get downright nasty.

Thanks Teal.

My Ford if I get on the throttle hard it goes quick and will near about out accelerate anything out on the highway except for sports cars.

6.0 right? I really like the SuperDuty's, and I really RAELLY like what they've done with the front end/interior of the '05 and newer models. I have just heard horror stories of problems with the motors. If I didn't think my curse would carry over to one, I'd love to have a white over tan crewcab dually 4x4.

Thanks, Teal

I'm curious about something, are there any special requirements or permits for hauling a vehicle on a trailer? Apparently the fuel/fuel tanks don't make it hazmat. Tanks got to be on empty or anything special you've got to do?

Yeah-Having the Authority to do it "Legally"

As a rule of thumb, we encourage 1/4 tank of fuel to ensure the vehicle will start/run even at and angle (for loading). Bedbuggers have the authority to haul cars, but I don't think Schneider(for example) can haul HHG.

As long as the system is a "closed system", meaning fuel cannot leak out, then it is legal to haul without a hazmat endorsement. But some systems, such as lawnmowers, weed eaters, etc., are not closed systems, and can leak out. These items need to be drained, or we cannot haul them.

Yep its a 6.0 fuel millage sucks but other than that I love the truck and have had 0 problems with it color of it is tan over black with the (I hope I'm spelling this correct) Lariet interior. What I really wanted though was a yellow F250 with the black interior but they were all a little more than I wanted to spend.

Interesting. I know that when we ship our forklifts to the shop in Sacramento we always remove the propane tank and then run them until they die to burn off whats left in the system.

[Teal 95 KW]

Yeah....NO propane tanks hauled. I don't care if they are empty, I'm not even going to take the risk on "fumes".
