Low Cost Heavy Stuff

Re: Low Cost Heavy Stuff

Yeah water crossed my mind. I was worried about baffles, but obviously multiple containers solves that. Hmmmm.

Many tanker trailers do not have baffles and a full tank will not slosh.

If "sloshing" tips you over sideways, then you are taking a turn or curve too fast.

Wood pallet boxes filled with gravel, would be inexpensive.

Most of the gas trucks you see on the highway aren't full. They leave the terminal full and make multiple stops. After they make a drop they are sloshing but no tanker (fuel anyway) has one tank. Often 4 compartments - count the hose connections, about 2400 gal. per compartment moving around. Driving skill and training does enter the picture. Those filled totes wouldn't be half the trouble driving around.

Re: Low Cost Heavy Stuff

The totes filled with water is a good idea, but is there really a measurable mileage difference moving 80K, between pulling a van trailer vs a semi end-dump?

We also will doll up the trailer for marketing so the flat side is better for us. And yes, a very short trailer gap and van is better than anything open top on fuel.

The Totes seem the best option, easily loaded from a dock with a forklift

We decided on this today. Thanks guys. We discussed all of these ideas in a meeting today, and you all definitely helped me prepare
