    i remember hauling out 3 aluminum coils on pallets out of a place in the boonies, in Kentucky for a delivery to a newspaper warehouse in Denver. i remember, just to be on the safe side, cause the doors would be sealed, i placed a load lock on each pallet then 2 on the last one. didnt want them moving when going up or down mtn passes. think the load was like 42-44k with a truck with no guts, it was a hard, tiring pull till i got to the flat lands.

Your unit looks really good Dan. Very professional looking. Thanks for posting. Your trailer handled the 42000 in 10 feet really well. Dorsey makes a strong trailer. Well Dan you have a great and a safe day. Happy trails and happy motoring..

      @@drmidnight680-kz2le I'm local now, driving sand and gravel and making way more of a paycheck. But we still bbq at the yard after work sometimes. As far as restaurants, I have one I go to monthly for Greek food and another for killer Italian that I just can't come close to making. But other than that, I cook B.L.D. at home, same with a thermos of coffee every day. Saves me a ton of cash, I can cook a REAL good nutritious meal for me, my girl and my brother for thirty bucks. And me and my brother are both big eaters, he's small at 6'3" 230, lol. Even my GF eats a bunch for being tiny, but we both take leftovers for lunch to save money. Maybe when I retire I'll be more into restaurants, but I like cooking my food exactly how I like it. I've only got that at a few places, and it costs 45-60 bucks per person. I'm saving for a second house on the lake, meals are a big part of making that happen.
