[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 131798, member: 67"] Re: Truck pack width Hi Art- I've been loading trucks (great work call for a guy that needs his mid-day and early evening free). I don't think we see any 102" interior width trailers, most seem to be a couple inches wider that the plywood that goes on top of the amp racks or cable caddies; I'm guessing these are 102" *exterior*. Maybe someone from Showcall or Upstaging lurks here... Another regional provider near us had done all their case design based on 90" interiors and then got their first modern trailer; they added some 2x4s down the side to tighten up the pack. After having problems with Ryder's idea of what internal dimensions were (they kept quoting exterior) I went to their commercial lot with a tape measure and made a list of straight truck numbers that we couldn't use because the 90" didn't include the thickness of the "forklift package" or dasher boards. That was several years ago and Ryder has a new rental manager who really knows her trucks, literally inside and out. I don't have to go to their lot to measure now. :) [/QUOTE]
