    Default What do you pull behind you (most often)

    So I did a quick peek, and I didn't see this question anywhere, so either it hasn't been asked (that I noticed) or it hasn't been asked in a long time ... and I guess I'm just curious.

    When i do drive trailers at work it is always a RGN.
    Truck Driving an occupation consisting of hours of boredom interrupted by sheer terror!!

    I have to put some of the kids in the trunk. But I go slow around the turns and stay off the speed bumps.

    ... You haven't ruined my poll ... Heck, I can't even vote yet, since the biggest thing I pulled was a full sized car trailer behind a 24' u-haul.

    Of course, that was almost 7 years ago, and it was then, that I truly appreciated what it takes to drive a rig ... not that a 24' box with a car trailer can compare, but that was the first "Big" thing that I'd driven, or towed.

    Wow it's been a while since I've posted anything - but I can finally answer.

    I had to put "other" on mine, although it's kinda a flatbed trailer.

    I am now driving a dump truck, pulling a tilt trailer, hauling around (and operating) a street sweeper - but I'll post about my new job in a more appropriate section.

    These days, I am pulling a reefer. In the past, I pulled loads that you still don't have on there. The load gets a steerable "dolly" under the back end, and a kingpin attached to the other. They do that with some tanks, pre-constructed overhead walkways, bridge beams, and I've even seen boats done that way.
    Destroy the cities...
    and they will rebuild them.
    Destroy the farms...
    and grass will grow in the streets of the cities.

    Destroy the economy of the blue-collar worker...
    and grass will grow in the executive offices.

    The bill has come due.
    ( R E T I R E D , and glad of it)

    I did flatbed for a month and it was too stressful. The company I worked for specialized in hauling well equipment and I hated hauling pipes. That was nerve-racking sh*t! I hated it when the load shifted and I had to pull off and tighten the straps. Once I was at a drill site and I was tightning my straps and one broke while I was ratcheting it and here I am, a 6 ft tall, 370 pound guy flying backwards about 8 ft and landing hard on my back.

    Hoping to get into professional truck driving in a few years (after I retire from my current job). Currently, I drag criminals in behind me.

    My trailer isn't listed. I usually pull a step deck. Sometimes, I may pull a side kit.

    I put the answer for my husband since he is in the flatbed division at Maverick Transportation. Personally, my car is incapable of pulling anything since the bumper on it does not seem capable of having a trailer hitch attached to it.
