Nice price, which site was this sold on?
GSANice price, which site was this sold on?
Must be talking about the one that I saw on the auction at GovPlanet a couple years ago where the box looks like it had been tossed in a hurricane!Lower price than they usually go for. Let's hope no one hits a bridge with this one!
That broken one just departed my area, but left me a few parts to stick on my other toys. The box was irreparable, so will be scavanged for usable parts and scrapped, the chassis is still good.
Cheers
Yep looks like the one that I saw but there wasn't an explanation as to why the box was torqued. Dumbass driver should have measured the height and paid attention to the bridge warnings! I mean he could have at least used the hydraulic system to pull the front down and also air down the tires to pull it to its lowest height! Also he should have put it on an ultra lowboy!This one. After hitting the bridge, it went back to GP and got sold again for a lot less than it went for the first time.
Cheers

Exactly the m1087 is already pushing it for height at about 12'1"! Add another 3 ft minimum for that trailer....
It's really LOW TECH, but a piece of conduit bent at 13'4" or so is what we have used forever.
Real cheap insurance!
Whats wrong with how hes got it loaded???? The heaviest thing on the trailer is over the axles !Exactly the m1087 is already pushing it for height at about 12'1"! Add another 3 ft minimum for that trailer...
I mean I already chastised the Belarusian driver who delivered my truck from Wisconsin because he had it hanging off the back instead of instead of the middle or front like he should haveView attachment 890540
I showed it to several truckers I knew and also consulted information I found online that you should have the heaviest thing up close to the hitchWhats wrong with how hes got it loaded???? The heaviest thing on the trailer is over the axles !
Sounds like an outfit in MO, possibly?I watched it and bid it up. I strongly hint a big surplus dealer got it and it will soon have some fresh paint and more digits on the price tag..![]()
I wasnt just picking on the statement if i had to move those 3 trucks i would have loaded it just like that plus he had probly already loaded the pick ups earlier and looks like hes roughly 34 35 k of veh on the trailer if he loaded any other way he couldnt put the 2nd pick up on which would have made your haul bill higher ! He filled the trailer up with LTL and still had another 7 tons he could have moved and been under gross and these poor fellas need to maximize every dollar they can with fuel price where they are so long as your truck arrived in tact and on time give the driver a brake hes just doing probably what he was told to do unless he was the owner/operator ! carry on !I showed it to several truckers I knew and also consulted information I found online that you should have the heaviest thing up close to the hitch
Yeah well this guy was paid enough to do it one way trip to me instead he did drop off and pick up drop off and pick up then went to his home for a while it was two weeks late and getting me my truck! Let's just say if I ever buy something again that needs to be delivered in a similar manner I won't be using him!I wasnt just picking on the statement if i had to move those 3 trucks i would have loaded it just like that plus he had probly already loaded the pick ups earlier and looks like hes roughly 34 35 k of veh on the trailer if he loaded any other way he couldnt put the 2nd pick up on which would have made your haul bill higher !

You mean the place with super awesome customer service who always get your order right and if you need a return they're on it lickety split!Sounds like an outfit in MO, possibly?
