    Nice tip. I appreciate it. I have tried it a couple times in the past, and I don't do it for a couple reasons. I work from home, and although it does happen, I try to avoid breaking any glass in the drive.....happy wife = happy life My trailer starts complaining when it gets over 6 tons on it. I also get paid more for cars than I do for shred, so I split the roofs of the cars to stuff as much shred in as I can and get paid car weight for it. The red '89 Toyota Corolla on the back weighed 3320#. The blue mid 80's Nissan Sentra up front had no engine or transmission and still weighed 2760#, after they clawed the stuffed wash machine out as shred. And last. but not least, my loader only goes up to 10.5' with the forks flat.

    One day soon, I hope to remedy the wimpy trailer syndrome.
