Construction trailer> good deal?

[Bob Rooks]

Well that's what I get for debating issues after a 12 hour shift.
OK Duffster, you win. It's not an endorsement (used to be), it's now called a "restriction". :thumbsup:

Reference (scroll to bottom): WA State Licensing: Special endorsements

Bob can you give us more details about the jacknifed split coefficients?

What would you like to know? Should probably start another thread if you want to hear all about qualifying KW & Pete for FMVSS 21 back in the early '70's.

 

[Bob Rooks]

Not sure as to why you have a need to assume people doing things they never posted that they did. :laughing:

I believe it comes from an earnest desire to help, and to keep the moron quotient as low as possible. I would hate to think that a newbie wiped out a family standing on a sidewalk because he was led to believe that it's okay to haul a 12 ton excavator on a trailer with no brakes.
In some states brakes are not required on both axles of smaller tandem trailers. This is just bad legislation, not a bad idea.:thumbsup:

It is good we have people working to keep the moron quotient as low as possible on www.tractorbynet.com .

Thanks, I try to help where I can. :thumbsup:

And I have no idea why Duffster made those claims...:confused3:

What claims would that be?

Nope, not going to Troll me son. :laughing:

I think you are starting to lose it Pops.

What claims would that be?

From your earlier post:
"Nope. There is no such thing as an air brake endorsement in WA or any other state in the US. At least not on a CDL."

And I responded:

What's your point?

How am I making any "claims"?

 

[Bob Rooks]

Unbelievable. I digress...

I am all for saftey, and if something needs to be done with the trailer that is for sale that should be taken into account in the selling price. It seems logical that you should do some online price checking to see what a comparable new one cost. Have you looked at www.trailersplus.com? Then talk to your accountant and see if buying used makes sense for your situation. I leased mine for tax purposes.

I've been saying that for years!!! :laughing:

If you only knew what we say about you. :laughing:

Like I give a *hit about what you say about me. :laughing:
Face it, you're just an internet bully.

 

[LoneCowboy]

holy crap, this thread is miles off course

how did that happen??????????

Ok, given the 12x usage per year, yes, a cheaper (at first) electric brake trailer would be fine.

they still suck though and since I"m spending your money I would go with air brakes (since you already are pulling it with a dump truck)

doesn't matter, trailer is gone.

It appears that "Duffster" is something other than he holds himself forth to be. Over 3,500 posts (on this site alone) in three years tells me, and others, that he doesn't have much time for anything else, so is most likely an ignorant, and probably incapacitated, armchair operator whose sole purpose in life is instigating discontent among others seeking help because it bolsters his self esteem. Going forward, I refuse a battle of wits with an unarmed person.

You nailed it. :laughing:

I still say a loaded construction trailer needs brakes that can stop its own weight to be great deal.:thumbsup:
