Nice :) Glad to see you're doing well and if you're ever at Kone elevator in West Chester, Ohio, we might run into each other. The company I drive for hauls out of there quite a bit and I see those big blue KW's there all the time.

I haven't been there yet, but I am in Ohio today, making a delivery in Ashtabula this morning then picking up aluminum extrusions in Miles. Maybe we'll pass each other or something!

Highly recommend the drive along the lake,from bula to conneaut,if your heading east. Route will be under one hour,you can rejoin 90 in conneaut.

Flatbed pay should go up faster,than most other specialized hauling,and the experience gained,is pretty much free to the driver.Nothing beats experience..just wish I would have got into trucking,sooner in life,flat seems like a great niche.

Have to become one with your truck,and just enjoy,the beauty,of the planet itself. Heavy metal music,keeps me running down the road. Although running at night,you miss a lot of scenery,and your surroundings seem much smaller.

Im looking at buying a trailer of my own,but want to be able to use it at auctions,where a vehicle,or piece of heavy equiptment,may not be running. The winch and tilt bed,would be perfect,although my search indicates,they are pretty pricey. Thanks for the reply.

Id like some additional info on why you choose the trailer,you guys pull.I see a ton of different styles. Could use some schooling on loading,unloading,and the weight and construction,of the trailer itself. Trailer looks to me like the most important part of the rig itself. The load is just what pays for the driver and rig.

Anyone give me some advice on Landoll 610? Saw one tonight,in action,towing another tow truck. Loading and unloading,was simple..Im thinking of seriously purchasing one,if it has more uses.,Thanks

Just got into a new 579 pete,set up for reefer hauling. I have Bridgestone,H rated tires,on the steer axle,in case you need to transfer weight up front. Do all H rated tires ride so poorly? Just the general characteristics,of the bridgestone tires? Loaded or empty,on straight,dry roads,they ride like they are on marbles..truck just doesnt feel planted,on the road surface. Truck wanders around..except if you are on a brand new piece of road. I dont think Id ever buy Bridgestone..I want my Goodyear or Michelins back!

Been a long day..meant steer tires.

The part Celadon,mostly forgot to teach,was when to straighten,your drive tires,and pivot trailer..THANKS KIM! This is the secret,to a good back.

Unless you can choose your own loads..my guess is the company,will give you just enough loads,to make your truck payment..just a guess.
