they used to be bad about shaking the ramp with the truck and trailer on in and shaking the truck and trailer over in the bin. takes a crane to get it out.

I could sure use a open top carrier for this project I have going in Philly... Can't seem to find a reputable company to save my life. :argh: :itsme:

.... I've heard some horror stories about the truck/trailer tippers. We just tip the trailer, usually. ... I thought most open-tops were also dump trailers or walking floors anyway. :dontknow:

Sure is a purdy truck tho. :rock:
