    It's real close to the R-model. The R's are a little bit narrower if I remember.

    My OS load going to AZ..... wound up getting the smallest load for the jobsite, seems luck has finally happened on my side for once. I added another 5/16 chain in between both the straps before i left, figured it made it look a little better to any DOT officer having a grumpy day. I also added 2 flags to the tops of each stack since the permits for one of the states said they needed flagged on the top and bottom of the widest points???

    My load that I delivered this morning. A thrust reverser set for a Boeing 777. 12' wide by 9' high by 20' long each. Tomorrow morning picking up a wing that 15' wide by 58' long by 5' high going to Chine Lake Naval Warfare Center in China Lake, CA. 1190 permit routed miles and hoping to have it done in 5 to 10 days depending on our CHP escorts.

    Pretty nice load, was the steel pre bowed?

    I used to haul for a steel company, pre and post manufacturing and fabrication.

    Looks good, I need to download some photos from those days.

    Some are pretty nasty loads that I refused to drive and some where I had to go recover after it fell apart on the other driver, errr super trucker.

    The V8 I drove preceded the E9.
    It was developed in conjunction with Scania.
    It was quite high revving.
    It would rev to 2800 and cruise between 1800 and 2200.
    It was a monster at 315hp compared to the 290 Cummins and Cats.
