[AT] PA/NJ Hauling help needed

[George Willer]

Mike,

Before I had my flat bed trailer I hauled my dual H that is nearly 9' wide 
on my 6' 5" trailer with foot high side rails.  I used a layer of concrete 
blocks and several layers of planks to create a temporary deck ABOVE the 
sides.  It rode fine with the outsides hanging free.  This worked, but the 
flat deck trailer is a LOT better and easier.
