I saw a very unique ladder at a military installation where I was delivering. I believe this driver imported them from China or somewhere. He bought a number of them to sell and kept one for himself. It stretched out enough for him to get on top of a 13' load. I meant to find out where he got them, but they were rushing us to finish up so we could clear the area. These ladders folded very small yet extended out to more than 13' plus it was lightweight.

Steve I have had a 7' stepladder on my truck and have used it but it's not enough. I have another extension ladder that's about 7' long (I think it's 14' extended) that I am going to replace my stepladder with this weekend. It will be much better for getting up on those high loads.

I keep it betwen the headache rack and the cab, bungied to the headache rack. No one has stolen it. Yet. 8)

I did end up getting a 7' step ladder and mounted it to the front of the headboard. I'll see how it works out. I should have bought one of those funky ones that extends out into all different directions.

No not yet. I start Monday, the 20th of this month. My truck is posted as available, just waiting for the phone to ring with all those offers of 3,000 mile hauls at $4.00 per mile. :D

Hint: Prebook an inbound load with one of those shippers I gave you then book a broker load to get there. Just an idea. Do not rely on that broker call, however a lot of shippers will call about a posted truck, but mainly brokers peddling the cheap freight.
