Just thought since tracer was talking about stretching, lowering, ramps, weight, customizing, etc., this kinda covered it all. If I was still on the road with my own rig, this is what I would have.
This particular trailer has been posted on here for a while now. They have already gone from $45,000 to $40,000. They might go a little lower. You never know till you ask. |
The trailer looks good but if I were to get something with ramps, I'd go to Wilson. They have a model where 2 wide ramps when folded create a level surface, with no gap between the ramps. I think it'd be more useful

The 48 ft model with 10'1" Tandem is rated for: Load Concentrated in 4 Ft. -- 65,000 Lbs. Load Concentrated in 10 Ft. -- 67,000 lbs Load Concentrated in 20 Ft. -- 73,000 Lbs. This is a combo trailer with a heavy duty beam designed to handle heavy coils. [ATTACH=CONFIG]705[/ATTACH] |
I"m staying close to home doing runs in IL, IN, PA, OH stuff like that and an interesting thing is happening: LS agents are actually CALLING me offering stepdeck loads! There's lots of freight in these areas and it's not all flatbed so I'm back to thinking good about my step. In these areas I can find specialized STEPDECK freight that pays quite well. My "edge over the competition" is trifold: I can still haul freight up to 10'6" tall, I can be legal with up to 49,000 lbs on the deck..
Hallelujah I think you have seen the light! Do you know why they are calling you? Because they know you are nearby and can get there quick....not out in freakin' Nevada or Wyoming somewhere. Your big advantage is that you are AVAILABLE. This is like having 10 trucks in a coast to coast operation. :) ...and if someone offers a good rate I can still go to Western Canada thanks to my closed trailer tandem. Arrgh. Don't get sucked in. ...but then what do I know? I'm just a general freight hauler. |

Hey Tracer, if you move this load, I'll buy you supper after you deliver. :)

Following your posts and blog makes my mind work those numbers trying to convince my heart to butt a truck just to prove I can make it work. $4 a mile seems good I don't know how guys make money leased to carriers that are paying $1 mile. I especially don't know how they do it leasing a truck.
