Where is everyone #5

CMC steel hauls some 60’ rebar on 48’s and they have a rack built on the front of the trailer about as tall as a flattop sleeper, the bar hangs over the sleeper a little and I think the back is like 3’ off the ground. From what I can remember I haven’t seen them hauling the long stuff in a while.
But I have to agree with @Ruthless perfect for a stretch

 

Yes Sir, been with me for a long time. My wife has made sure it was full many times, before I headed out for as long as 8 weeks straight.

Worked on the Rice creek RR bridge in Palatka, Florida. It was there.
When our crane was unable to change the motors 127 feet up on a RR bridge in Joliet, Illinois it was there.... ended up using a chopper.
Got sent to Boston to do an eviction... it was there.
In Birmingham I showed an electrician from Texas how a Hillbilly builds a low pressure compressor on the cheap, it was there.
Rolled in to Gintilly RR yard in New Orleans driving a R model Mack, it was there lol.

Yea if you only knew where this thing has been

 

House lock failure??? I can't see it on my phone. Counter weight pulled it over?

 

Saw a loaded flat pull into a KFC as I was walking to get an adult beverage. On my way back, the flat had backed out onto a 7 lane US hwy, 6:30pm. Is the guy stupid or is the chicken that good?

 

Or it just wasn’t in, doesn’t looks like there’s a counterweight on it. Been a while since I worked on a P&H but I don’t think you can drop the gantry with the counterweights on.

 

We set up next to an old P&H once. Young Mexican dude running it. Had what looked like a bucket seat out of a 60's muscle car. I was running a brand new ltm1095. It was about 100° outside and I kept looking over at that fella sweatin' and working overtime on the sticks and pedals thinking man I sure got it good!! But my hats off to that dude he had a whole lot of "want" in him!

 

I ain't a lightweight either.
I bought a 13 ft Cisco folding extension
Used it for 5 years on the truck and still use it at home.
Paid $100 on sale.

 

I’d have to look at our contract but I’m pretty sure there’s actually a provision in there about being allowed to put a window air conditioner unit in older cranes.

 

Contract ?
That sounds like a union deal.
I thought you kept insisting that you were anti-union ?
I might need to have a discussion with a certain Assistant Shop Steward I know about you flip flopping on your stance on Unions.



Hey Jimmy, did you read this ?
