ISO trailers and containers

I do them every so often, When we're slow on the tanker side or our iso division is extra busy. I get elected to help out the iso, Because I don't Bi+ch enough. lol
Can't stand pulling iso, They are always heavy but I never been over gross with one yet.
They are extremely top heavy worse than a regular tank.
Often when pulling these and your get moving down the highway you'll feel the liquid start rocking and rolling and it don't stop, Just keeps pushing and pulling all day long.
When I do these iso its always a load out of our yard and empty back, I refuse to do any rail yard or container yard work.

 

+1 on ISO’s suck. We used to use them for delivery through the hills of PA and WV. Very top heavy. When I got into the office I changed that real quick. We have nice tankers now.



Here’s some brand new chassis in La Porte, TX. Well, they were brand new.

 

And BTW, that La Porte yard is a hole!!!!
Yard jockey flying through like it was smooth concrete. Glad it was a one time trip.

 

I’m sure, like always, stupidity twisted those chassis. Just like anything else, use your head and proper driving skills and it’s not too bad.

 

that's a requirement of any DANA yard...

 

I pull them everyday and don't mind it but I guess its like anything else you get use to after awhile. Some of those Dana chassis are spring ride and beat you up pretty good especially this time of year.

 

I pulled them for almost 1.5 years. They have their ups & downs. They ride horrible and it's like pulling a parachute behind you. Yes they are often overweight and top heavy. Just remember to take the on/off ramps under the posted speed. With that all said, there is good money to be made in ISO work.
