    Yep. I've hauled several of the 10' 6" wide units before. Every time I have loaded them they got on top and dropped my straps down to me so I didn't have to get on top. Super nice people at Poseidon. With the one I hauled from Vegas to Indiana I had to get overweight permits for every state because when I am empty and full of fuel I am 39,710lbs. With this unit my loaded weight was 88,305lbs. Some of the overweight permits were expensive and a couple were super cheap. My Texas overweight fee was $135.00. They sure like to collect the extra fees when they can.

    No load pictures but a first for me. 15 minutes interstate closing in Wyoming. Never knew they used choppers to hang power lines, I was impressed... Maybe I don't get out enough? Pretty cool..

    Man. I asked the same question when I first got the truck and trailer. The truck with all of my stuff in it plus fuel is 21,780lbs and the trailer is now 16,580lbs empty after I cleaned out a bunch of heavy, nonessential gear after this trip. So, now my empty weight as of today is 38,360lbs. My truck is a 2014 International 9900i with an ISX, 18 speed and 46K rears and a double frame. The trailer is a 2006 Great Dane 53' combo step deck tri-axle. It's just plain heavy.

    That mini equipment is always a pain to get secured on flatbed like that... I posted a load like that in here couple years ago asking how the #### to tie it all down when I ran out of binders(12).. Think I had 5 pieces of equipment.. Don't remember.. Just got to do the best ya can with what ya got to work with..

    It all blew away, far far away. Not to worry more snow is to be blown in to replace that which has blow away. Wyoming is an actual working "perpetual motion machine"
