And you have a need .:S
Can you put 2-3 pallets of sod, pavers, wall block, trees 12-29' tall long in a truck? How about 3- 15 yrs of landscape material, be it lightweights like bark sawdust. Or lessor volume but heavy like rock product? 29' pieces of sprinkler pipe or equal?
YES I have a NEED!

I know you have a need, thats the reason for my post :) My point is all this talk about having to have a long bed. I have no need, DON"T want one. I guess some don't seem to understand that.
No I can't do what you do, but then I think its apparent by now I don't need to ,nor want to .
Long story short, I can do all that and more with my short bed. It's called a 30' gooseneck trailer.
Some area's those trailers do not fit! Or can not get in and out of as easy as a single truck. At the end of the day, it is having the correct tool for the job/task at hand. As reality is, our trucks are tools for a given job. They must work for many of us, doing different tasks. What I do vs somebody else, will be the same to 180 degrees different. Moving 30+' trailers in the middle of some cities near me, while doable, a single truck with the same capacity is easier to manage. I can also carry upwards of 4 pallets on my pintle hitch trailer. someplaces it is better to use the IHC.
