    I went searching for a photo I remembered seeing, but I couldn't find it. I found these though.

    Yea I know...not really on topic, but eh...maybe someone will be as amused I was on seeing these.

    Those giant ### mine vehicles....they make monster trucks look like micro-machines.

    Sirscrapntruckalot - That's not a heavy haul, this is a heavy haul.... - Crocodile Dundee if he drove a truck.

    I’ve seen two tractors pulling something once in my life. It was insane. I don’t even know what it was.

    those pre fabbed concrete bridge beams are pretty crazy too when you see them coming down the road. Makes a windmill blade look short.

    They run like that all the time there by Sioux City, I see hopper trains there too, I think Iowa just let's it go if they dont go past the Salix exit.

    yeah they are all going to cf, that’s exactly what I was referring too actually. I used to run in that area a lot.

    My old home... I don’t miss that #### line.

    I get to the dry fertilizer plant there now and then. I have no clue how they get away with that, I know that'd be a tens of thousands of dollars fine if they got caught once.

    I’m guessing it’s legal some how because there is no way cf is going to be sending trucks down the road illegally day in and day out. They probably just have to head straight back into Nebraska.

    Doubles are not allowed on the haul road at all. A few years ago a guy tried sneaking a set of belly dumps up. I do not know what happened, but for some reason his truck caught fire and burned, still hooked to the set, he was naturally busted. lol

    Have to go up to South Dakota don't they, I don't think those are legal in Nebraska either.
