For light loads, by all means, 53'ers are the way to go.
Good to see you on the job AVG.
You sure got a lot done in a little time.
I salute your abilities.

We get waivers in all the states. These are issued by FEMA. We can run heavy and run past the normal operating hours. Disasters do not know DOT regs nor care about them We are provided paperwork and my drivers blow through the scale houses. We use only 53 foot van. Most common these days. Looks like my trailers will be going to Haiti. BTW, I got current pics of the port...all cranes are down and the port is out of commission. I do not have time to post...sry
Now I working on 298 trailers out of Frederick MD and 197 out of Cumberland MD.
Back to work
