Load Boards

[jasonsprouse]

Well I used to run for CTX some years ago, and I've been in the towing business for awhile now. I've got a International 16' flatbed (rollback) and have my US-DOT numbers and authority and I'm looking to pick up some hotshot work. I've been driving around the same 2 counties for the last 5 years and it's getting boring.

Is there any loadboards that are better for hotshot work than others?

What's the specs on your International - what kind of payload can you haul ?

Empty weight with driver and fuel runs about 12,200. Just got radials to replace the real bias plies so I figure weight will run around 12,600. Registered GVWR is 26,000 leaving me around 12,500 payload capacity.

Bed size is 90" between the side rails and about 16' long. Side rails are removeable for side loading freight.

This is the truck in question, the DOT's are not on in this pic but I have them.
