    If you were on IL49 on Friday sitting for almost an hour while I broke down a multi- axle trailer to try and get onto a teeny tiny county road - I am sorry - I guess.

    then It got even smaller trying to get into the substation…. But after 3 more hours of maneuvering - safely under the crane.

    has to wait and stack on Saturday morning - good thing I had 53’ in the well - so it all fit. Scales closed and back in Des Moines by 8 pm

    It is a Transmaster trailer

    55 ton outside beam stretch modular steerable low deck

    that set up was 65’ in the well - the owner has 75’ total

    it’s about 1 year old

    Impressive, but I am interested in something else too, do you really drive a Holden? ;-)
    Amongst the many other things I have turned my hand to, I started the taxi driving part of my career driving a Holden in Sydney, before being 'promoted' to a Falcon. :)

    I had a rebadged Pontiac G8 for a long time. I’d like to get a Chevy ss to have one again since they’re out of business

    You would be soo wrong!


    But I could fit the entire machine in the well ….wait - upon reflection Hell no

    I will never be able to retire
