Darren Sherriff Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 (edited) Hi all Sorry just doing this now I take pics during the build but am terrible at building a post to go with the build so here we go. I decided that as I now have 2 trailers I need 2 trucks for hauling. So had a look thinking I wanted a triple axle and decided to go with the Grand Hauler as it has a nice long frame and doing research the american heavy haulers are not stretched the 3rd axle is directly behind the sleeper cab.
