I asked a flatbedder who had one of these extended frame trucks if there was a purpose other than the cool factor.He told me he frequently hauls metal beams that are 65' long and they use the extra frame length to overhang the load on the front so they have less hanging off the rear to make them legal and not have as much swing out

Use the High Road training for all of it and do the tests until you can pass everything,then go to the DMV.You can skip the Combination section as you've already passed it.That's what I used and I passed everything on the first try.

The High Road training is better than anything else out there,imo

I once picked up an auxiliary fuel tank for an F15 fighter jet in northern California going to Florida on a flatbed. 700 pounds. I got a lot of looks from passerby and even had one truck driver at a Love's ask me if it was a bomb

But you didn't hit anything. That's a win.

THIS is the most important thing

It seems to be more of an owner/operator outfit,so you probably won't get much information on them here,as this site is focused on helping new drivers learn how to maximize their potential the first few years in this career
