We Switch to FLATBED !! Split Axle Not like Dry Van !! Day in the Life American Truck Driver W900

[@stacyharris4241]

🤔 As a retired 81 years old Flatbed driver, we called it a SPREAD axle not a SPLIT axle 🤣

[@scottycollins1829]

More than one name for it

[@WillVanHorn-po8xw]

@@scottycollins1829 True but to we diehard open deckers, we refer to spread axle. Unless one is pulling a triplex

Money Pit Pete. Yeah, yeah, you've told me before you're busy making content and not lookin to watch someone else. That guy is making money very locally with a flatbed. Sometimes he does 3-4 loads in a day. Everything, precast concrete forms, topsoil and mulch. Rebar and mats for keeping equipment at construction sites from sinking. Anyways enjoy your skateboarding! Safe travels and God bless

[@JustTruckin]

Thank you Chris

Great move you will probably get a lot more loads

true scott, but flatbed is a heluva lot more work than door swingers. it’s 2.2/mile or no load. and even 2.2/mile is debatable. i like 2.5+/mile.

[@davidritter21456]

I ❤️ Conestoga flatbed trailers! They simplify, and speed up the tapping. Good business decision to go flatbed, Good Luck! Stay alert, and safe! 😅

[@WillVanHorn-po8xw]

Well truth be told, tarping goes much faster than taping... but yes sir, conestoga is quicker. Couldin't help the humor.

[@Twister-10228]

Good Video Justin, Some flat bed and step deck loads you don't tarp and some you do, hated tarping lumber loads 13' 0 ft for 86 lumber without harness and stand and of coarse windy lifting up the tarp. And didn't like Georgia Pacific wall board loads always have a pin hole in the tarp and will hit rain and then stain the wall board then have to get rid of the part loads stained. Wall board for me was the rain caser on me. Rain, rain go away, leave me alone was my little song. I know a construction out fit got heck of a deal on wall board cause I hit rain and stained almost half a trailer of GP wall board. Just needed to get off the trailer and so charged them a dollar a for 4 x8 sheet of wall board. Made a little bit for my time and free lunch. And the construction company was redoing a house a block away, Easy pleasy. Oh, one thing if you don't have a dump valve for the center axle. Then make wide turn arounds or multi back and forth turns, other wise that super single side wall becomes a big dozer blade on asphalt. I dozed up a few asphalt parking lots cause the company didn't have a dump valve with super singles. Some places put a valve on the trailer and /or better in the cab with electric switch and extra cord with electric dump valve. Then turning not so bad as you turn you just dump the air slightly while turning skidding the tire some and then stop dumping the axle to put the air on and weight back on the axle on the spread axle trailer. Usually the center or inside axle dumps. Some people have electric switches for valves for both axle dumps. Just be careful with high heavy loads as the super singles with flat bed or step deck can get the feeling like top heavy and rock back and forth from side to side in the wind. It's not a good feeling as the super single track is smaller foot print and track spacing on the road then dual wheels. Take care and good luck.

It can be either way

@@scottycollins1829 The manufacturers all say spread axle and I have owned a lot of them, you can say split axle but 99% will say spread.

[@chrispauldupre]

yea i have to agree. it’s spread axle. or closed axle. i like a trailer with the option to move the axle. you never know when your going to need to close the axle(florida, vermont, california, new hampshire, rhode island, connecticut, or maine).

Interesting to see you hauling a flat bed. I haul a drop deck flatbed with boats for loads. Very, very busy with work. Gotta keep an eye on the load straps to stay on and tight.

[@davestarr7112]

Indeed. I'm not a trucker, but I've been told by many who know that steel and straps don't do the job. Steel chains for hailing steel beams is what I have always been told. Any other steel vs straps voices out there?

[@robtrace8777]

It would be interesting to see if there is any difference in fuel mileage

[@JustTruckin]

🤔

[@danielandersson4651]

Money has always been in specialty loads, that most likely require a flatbed or Hazardous courses, running a dryvan is for people that just quit training ;)

[@markhembree5060]

With the spread axle most all drivers has a dump valve on the rear axle to make the turns easy

[@scottycollins1829]

Dumps on both axles are EXTREMELY BETTER & LIFT AXLES is EVEN MORE BETTER

advice: don’t ever jackknife a flatbed spread axle because your load can tip over or even worse pop your trailer out of the fifth wheel. trust me i’ve seen it happen more than once.

[@ndg9367]

Hey Justin, great video. Hope Cash feels better. I commented on a video a couple videos ago about Amazon Relay loads. Do you have early access? I know if you don't have early access the rates are crap! Just trying to help out.

A controlled burn not a building or house fire smoke is the wrong color for bldg or house it would be darker

[@buddyreed2623]

Hello Justin. It would be nice that if the "Super Single" tires could support an empty flatbed at weigh stations and the air in either axle could be dumped raising the axle making for easier tracking and easier on the tires themselves. There must be an advantage for having the separation but I do not know what it is. Have good days!

[@brianstill8954]

The advantage is you can have 40,000 on the trailer.
