Here's that one I hauled to get back home for Christmas. Pain in the ###. Took 5 hours in the snow to load and about 4 hours to unload. In the dark at both ends.

Myth busted.

Cat parts.




That Cat plant in East Peoria is retarded. To get to the shipping office, you have to go down a one lane behind the building with guardrails on both sides, go in the dock door that they don't even use, and see the shipping guys. Not only are they not receiving guys, they only handle van freight so they dunno wtf you want and send you all the way back around the building. Problem is, that one lane is the van line waiting to load at a single dock on the end of the building.
Yeah, you have to wait for them to load all the vans one by one before you can get out of there. Then you go see some guys who also don't know wtf you're talking about cause it isn't their department either, but they unload you anyway cause that's where the stuff goes. Then the forklift driver is forbidden to sign your bills. They want you to go back to the van dock, as in drive down the one lane and sit in the van line again. And there is no way out of there until all the vans in front of you are loaded.
I flat told them no. They eventually sent some office guy out to sign. He grumbled about it and told me next time I brought anything, I'd have to follow their procedure and go down to the van dock. I told him I never would and left. Idiots.

Good chaining on the plate steel.
Question for you though.
Why only half a ld.?
There's room on the deck for more steel. Oh you're mileage right?
HaHa.
Again good chaining job
