    Correct, going to the tower plant up there. They picked a weird place to put it. Smack in the middle of a residential looking area.

    If the one downtown, it's easy. Come into town and make a left turn. Takes right to the plant

    Yea its the one downtown. I saw that route in and its what I asked WI for on my permit.

    At this rate I'm not even sure when I'm going to start going. If I leave Sunday morning I could get to the AR Line but would have no place to park. I'm sure they are going to be a bit backed up since they decided to take a long weekend today. So that will likely cause me to not get my permit until late in the day at best.

    If you are crossing at Texarkana,

    I have parked across the road from the J just into AR. You have t pay but there are no lined parking spots. If I fit, then you will for sure.

    I know the place you are talking about. I was thinking of stopping there. Really just interested what Arkansas is planning for my route. Last few times I've gone through with something mich smaller that have detoured me through Nashville, AR on Us71 over to US 371 and then back on at Prescott. I'm hoping they won't do that again.

    I've done some real nice tarping from time to time but not all of them look like tightly wrapped christmas presents going down the road...

    Not EXACTLY what I meant when I said I wanted to start doing more equipment. And also not my idea on how to secure it to the deck. That was the shippers requirements, I left and up the road 30 miles nothing had moved. So I ran it. No real great spots for chains anyway.

    Oh, and good thing I had the tri-axle......

    The one with the shovel is pinned for up and down and pinned for side to side. I believe that is correct, however I am not sure if the bucket still needed one to count as securement on the stick.

    What I took down was a big pump on a trailer. I didn't get pics. But the hooks on the chains didn't fit through the tie-down eyes. I may re-think carrying four 6-8 foot tail chains on my truck if I'm going to keep getting equipment.

    If the hook doesn't fit thru the chain hole, pull the pin on the hook & run the chain thru then repin the hook.

    Don't take this the wrong way but I would either be leaving with that chained down or empty.
    Their choice.
    Too often it's one retard in a shipping yard that hasn't a clue in the first place dictating "His" mind.

    It's a tractor...... A chain around the front axle and rear drawbar with some rubber under it to protect the precious paint. If they don't like that they have no business dealing with equipment.
