Finally picked it up yesterday heading for Fla. in the morning. Loaded with 5 carriages. Got the bed tv computer installed today. Weighs in at 7400 lbs and pulls like a dream

No thanks on washing that thing. My 36ft wears me out.

That thing sure is light to be so big.

Oh yeah, one of them "Nimitz Class" trailers - gotta be licensed in two counties.

Very nice trailer; but if you ever come into my neighorhood, you better give me a call ahead of time to check and see if you will be able to manuever through.

That does cause us a few problems. We put it right on the work production orders we send to our customers that they have to provide us an area to drop their carriages off that will facilitate a 53' trailer or meet us at a nearby truck stop with a trailer for us to offload onto.

Have you delivered any to Mackinac Island? I used to go there all the time as a kid (grew up outside of Detroit). They are all over the island.
