[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 90889, member: 1912"] [COLOR=blue]Agreed. Bags should be used as filler in the top part of walls.I may get some debate on the subject but while the nose is important I think the bottom is critical. I woulld guess this issue is another reason we stopped making and buying drop frame pups and went to the new short flat floor WW type trailers. If the loader at least applies average load building skills then you have a safer load to pull down the road.
