","text":"They make conestogas for lazy lazy wannabe flatbedders. But you can’t really do anything specialized like oversized so you’re just a a van with extra steps. Instead of being called a door pusher you’re just a curtain pusher lol "}

{"replyTo":"","text":"I have super B's and I love it. flatbed is really hard work at first but then you get into a routine and it ain't so bad. \n\nI strap, tarp, and chain. I haul up to.      63 500 Kg or just shy of 70 tons. \n\nYour worst enemy is winter because all freezes and is covered with ice. rolling up frozen, wet and frosty straps suck after delivery.","replyToPid":0}
