Nope, I think they are mostly out of service. Kind of dinosaurs now. We used to get them all the time too. I don't think I have seen one that was not painted yellow in 2-3 years now.Does anyone ever see 40' drop frames in use? I have seen one with the new logo numbered as a pick up box and a couple painted tan and used on property but thats it. I remember when they were all over the place. I am noticing less and less 28' foot drop frames too. But like Chev said, they are all being fazed out.
Aww. I love em as long as I only have to pull em and not unload em.I hate to drop this on your guys, but here it is. Each and every type of trailer sucks.
When is the last time you saw a 26' drop frame? We have one painted yellow for storage, but I have not seen one of them in service in a very long time.
Another point; Does anyone ever teach the unloaders to put the boxes straight on the rollers, instead of crooked. When unloaded straight, the next box will butt right up to the box ahead making it unlikely to fall off the rollers. I would always put rolls and small pkgs on top of the bigger boxes and let them ride down to the end, this way you don't have to clean up a pile of pkgs when you're done.
That would make a good thread, Preload/Reload Tips, maybe one exists already.
I didn't even know that there were 26' pups. But come to think of it I did see an old drop frame at the airport that might be a 26'. Painted gray but with no shield or lettering on it, if I recall.
I like when I see something unusual or old being used. Appeals to the gearhead/history geek in me.

L's and H's . five digit trailer numbers starting with a 0. I think they were tunnel boxes used to move through tunnels with height or width restrictions.
