At the beginning of May the wife and I hauled a '61 Ventura body and frame and all manner of sheet metal in a 24' Haulmark from here to western North Carolina. We had to drive north to Memphis to meet someone to drop off some heads and a few other items and then went east across Tennesse to Bristol and then down towards Ashville. Tennessee has the worst highways I've ever seen in terms of the areas where the pavement meets every bridge and overpass start and end. I do not see how that trailer stayed attached to my truck all the way across Tennessee. Every time we went over a bridge or overpass the jolt was absolutely unbelievable. If a hitch pin or ball was ever going to snap that would have been the trip imo.
