I wouldn't even expect this from the blind side, ever.

@70bigblockdodge I know it's too new for you, but it still is a nice looking truck that would match your new trailer and it's a 300" with a drop axle too. Only 170K.

See how that was taken from the view inside the tractor by a driver waiting to back in.
That was me watching and waiting.

What are you calling a "drop axle"?
Canadians must be referring to something else on what I knew as a drop axle.
And Dave, you'd give your left nut for that truck.

In the video he says it has a 5" drop car carrier type axle in front that gives it a lower stance. That's all I got.

@ 300rag That is a beautiful truck from out here, length, flat top, hood, chrome. It's on the interior that a Pete just falls short of where it once was. I would take that truck my left nut... I don't know. @commando1 Make it a W900 KW length and flat topped, no studio sleeper crap and let me know who's taking the left one. Those drops are usually done by removing the blocks between the spring and axel usually 3-4" and then low pro rubber.

Plus you'd have to drive to Montana to make a U-turn.

Oops.....
I always wondered what that looked like when they ignored the sign...

I have seen a little sign right inside the door of many trailers that specifically states the floor is not supported for fork lifts...What sign?
Not the first time, btw...

WTF good is a trailer that can't support a forklift?
That's the equivalent of a soup spoon with holes in it.
On the other hand, I've oft seen forklift operators refuse to go into a trailer because of the trailer's condition.
Inversely, some carriers refuse to allow their trailers to be loaded by a forklift because of how the forklifts tear the crap out of them. I returned a few trailers to our distribution facility with newly acquired skylights...

This is why Wabash started using a Stainless section on the bottom 1 foot of the wall. The aluminum holds too much moisture near the wooden floor and rots plus the stainless is more resistant to forklift abuse
G.M. haz a policy that if the wagon iz 10 yearz or older their dock workerz "must"refuse to enter...and if they have doubts they'll walk around to the front and check the Manufactured date. It'z happened to me! Take a load of freight back to your yard and tell your boss that story, done that too lol, Jer
