Default United Rental

How about United Rental delivering heavy equipment pulling a lowboy. I have pulled flatbed never a lowboy. Is it significantly different?

I already left. I still think TMC is a great company. I needed more time at home. I have 8 dogs no one is watching. My niece took care of them for a while and became completly unreliable. I haven't been able to place them. Leaving them on their own for a week or even two at a time was not a good idea. So I decided to find a local job so I was home.

United seems to be a good company. They have a rental office next door to my company. When it opened everything was brand new including the trucks. Lowboy has it challenges but it's much the same as a flatbed without the tarping. For one, you get to drive all sorts of neat "toys" on and off the trailer. Your center of gravity is much lower on the trailer but the equipment can still be top heavy and cause you problems.
