I’m getting where I can’t make the long rides but there are some rides I want to make that are a lomg way from home, plus I want to take the wife and dog with me so I’m going to look at a Haulmark 6’6” X 12’ aluminum flatbed tomorrow, is that the size I need? Now, I was wondering about tiedowns, any suggestions? The reason I’m going with a flatbed is I occasionally need a trailer to pick up a yard of top soil, plus it wom’t be used much and can’t justify the extea espense for an enclosed trailer.
