    Back in the last boom those kind of loads were so common up here the novelty wore off. I kid you guys not it was not uncommon to see 3 or 4 a day headed up the highway. Some on trailers like that, most on those Goldhofer platform trailers.

    Seems to me a job like that requires more trust in other people than I can give.

    Just imagine how the mechanic feels when its time to do wheel bearings or trailing arm bushings!

    Truth! Takes two guys a half day to do alignment on our 9 axle Faymonvilles. Then another half to grease it. (Takes the boss 5 mins to knock it all out of wack.)
     
    Coffey, cke, FoolsErrand and 1 other person Thank this.

    Hahaha, it's a good thing the government doesn't require TPS on heavy trucks yet. Bet that warning light would be lit almost always.
