    A 963 isn’t a wide load. It isn’t even a heavy load. So yes you are right on that.

    I’d give up my LTL gig for that. A construction would likely pay OT after 40 as well.

    There are certain trucking jobs that actually require serious skill.
    - Double/triple trailer (the LTL guys)
    - Tanker
    - Carhauling (IMO the toughest job in trucking)
    - Specialized/heavyhaul

    The doubles and the tankers have to be extremely smooth on the controls. Car hauling, you are usually 80ft long, possibly a little tall, and easy to high center. Heavyhaul, you’re low like a car hauler, longer than anything else on the road, bigger than the road, heavy as 2 rigs, and if you’re pulling a tanker, the tank itself will usually be longer than the whole tanker rig.

    Will it survive rate cutters?

    One of the things that desk jockeys hate to admit is that talent costs money. We all have to rub elbows with idiots, you just hope that when the idiot screws up, no one gets killed. If we survived “Schneider Heavyhaul,” we can survive anything.

    Driving logs at near 180,000 on 7 axles pay the driver about $1000 or so a week.

    When I moved those it was always on a permit, albeit only for 90K. Needs one anyway though if it has a root rake on it.

    Heavy on a 5 axle would be 93000lbs GVW. Show me the driver that can consistently load and axle out 93000 on a 5 axle lowboy and I will show you a driver that knows his craft.

    I'm a car hauler. It's all i've ever done. I want to try out the os/ow world but it seems like i'd have to start all the way at the bottom. Despite knowing that i'm more than likely one of the sharper tools in the shed and alot faster at learning and picking up things. And that's what keeps me in a prking lot

    In parking lot waiting? For a good paying load, because your owner op?

    @TripleSix does 117,000 on 5 axles plus a tag for six axles sound good?

    I hauled one last week. It was 8’6” wide and I think it weighed about 45,000. So I was 91,000 gross. So it’s nothing special. Considering the load before weigh twice as much.
