Last week I put a bedside on an 09 Chevy 1/2 ton because the owner jacknifed his trailer full of ATV's when it got away from him backing up. This guy hauls new Caterpillar equipment for a living on both Lowboy, and dropdeck, but freak accidents can humble us at any time.

RobHi rob,we were having a picnic at a lake near us a few summers ago,it was something to see! people trying to back these small 1-2 axle trailers with boats and personal watercraft down the ranp and into the water! after struggling for about 45 mins.to get turned around,one couple actually un-hooked their large boat and turned it around in the parking lot so as not to back up! i don't know much about boats. but i bet this was a 12-1400 lb. boat.almost every vehicle i looked at had a bent-up bumper or some type damage.........mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

Double L Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I prefer the fender mirrors myself. It'll save your butt from running over the car you can't see that is by your fender but that is my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
