Re: GM Semis

Same here, got away from framing at that time and I came up cutting rafters and building stairs, using a framing square for more than just marking wide boards for crosscuts and checking corners for square. It seems New England hung onto traditional building methods more than in this area. Not many true carpenters around here. It's the blind leading the blind. So you're building yourself a house? Good for you!

I never see truss haulers being escorted. It's hammer down and steal a lane if something's on the side of the road. And our DOT are a tough bunch. You might already know that.

I guess homes got bigger to where trusses needed to be hauled differently. The only pictures I found of a proper truss trailer are models
