    Another important step in the project, our new Gooseneck - Low Boy trailer has arrived in Beaverdam. A local church allowed us to use their parking lot to meet with the hauler and trailer, and give Del Carpenter the opportunity to drive the Futurliner on to the trailer for the first time. Once on the trailer, out came ladders, levels, and measuring tapes to ensure clearance tolerances are all met. After new anchor rings are installed, and some adjustments are made, we should be road ready.
  Oh yes, there is a matter of needing a tractor to pull it.


Del Carpenter, behind the wheel, approaches the new Trailer.

The Futurliner gingerly creeps up on the trailer for the first time.

The Futurliner just fits on the trailer. Things are looking good so far.

A tractor is hooked up to the trailer and final measurements are taken to make sure everything is in compliance.
