Big Loads - Post Photos Number 2

Me too.
I quit saying "it won't move for that rate, they will call me back" about a year ago.

 

Not quite sure I'd tarp a moving locomotive like @Rontonio, but for enough $$$ I most certainly will tarp a stationary object...Genterator shaft in a crate; load is 37'L X 4'6"W X 5'2"H @ 100,000lbs, loaded length is 117'8"L @ ~172,000gvw...I may get tagged with the this bad boy again, I brought it from the power plant to the rebuild shop, then it has to go out for "Hi-Speed balancing", then back to the power plant for the planned shut-down in March where it will be in Generator 2 and repeat the process again for replacement of final generator 3 after that...

 

That is my kind of load! Low and heavy

 

Heard a story about one of you guys hanging out at one of my favorite Wateringholes of all time, Nelson Bros in Clearwater, Mn. A buddy of mine says that you bought his dinner, Big Ron.

 

Yeah

Nice guy - helped with an issue when I was building my trailer yesterday. split the hidden pig tail connection inside the flip neck.

Loaded in Clearlake this morning and made Vivian, SD for the night

 

I was talking to him on the phone and he described your rig. Small world. Met him back in 2008 at ATS. He'd just retired from the air force.

 

I gave him all my contact info - if I can help him out. Tried to talk him into putting 52k on his 5 axle for 1000 miles rather than 20k for 300 miles

 

He described you as being like a rocket scientist. LOL.

 

Uh, not so much....

 

That's one of my favorite places too...I love the cinnamon fritter bread French toast...always have a loaf or two at home in the freezer. It's my Christmas morning special, but usually make three loafs worth for the family
