I know that there's what they call a low-boy, that's used to haul heavy equipment such as an escavator, bull-dozer, etc. But is there such a thing as a high-boy? ops:

 

Well, you're right about the "lowboy", also called a DOUBLE-DROP. As for a HIGH-BOY, I guess it would be a straight flat. If you raised the bed for any reason, it would have to be a very special application, and would not be able to haul much other cargo. The idea behind having a trailer in the first place is to haul something on it. Don't get a lot of revenue from pulling an MT trailer around.

 

I have never heard of a high boy.

 

The only dumb question is the one not asked.

We have enough trouble keeping things low to get under bridges and viaducts so there is not need for a high boy in trucking.

But with a quick web search, I did find such a thing as a "high-boy"
Nothing to do with trucking, but SWEET

How 'bout the kid that found his dad's 'shine stash? BOL

 

There are several different versions of a high boy in the farming industry. There are generally some time of fertilizer sprayer. The only kind that I know of that pertains to trucking is a a large sprayer or fertilizer spreader that has extremely tall wheels. You can see these at many fertilizer plants and some do require a CDL in order to operate it. Some, however are more like tractors than big trucks and do not require a CDL. These are the only "high boys" that I can think of.

 

There's a few high boys around but they get caught and get "weeded out".
:lol: JK!

 

LOL-me either except for some posters here in the Past who wanted Marijuana legalized :P

 

That is very true ask anything you want. Not all of us know everything.
