    Got it. I'll make sure to go slow. I don't want to be a burden to anyone but I also don't want to Rip the top off of this expensive equipment

    You will be ok if you are 13'6" or less high and width is no problem. My bad about not expanding on that. Sams club is in Lumberton and across the exit a Walmart that allows truck parking. Exit 22 I 95

    Kind of hard to believe that Roehl starts you off with over height. Over height is much less forgiving than over width.
     
    DrtyDiesel Thanks this.

    Thats a joke, LOL Back before air ride dump suspension you had to let air out of the tires if you were a little high and then air them back up after going under a low pass. I think that is what he is referring to.

    You did measure your load on the trailer to make sure of all is on the up and up? You will do fine

    hard for me to believe they have a guy with less then a years experience doing any of it. my old man made me run team with him for a year before i was turned loose with any truck

    I'm 13'8"...

    Is that bridge only if I were to go to that sans club?

    Yeah I know, I get nervous under every unmarked bridge.

    We have a big account with caterpillar moving these tractors. Since I was in Minnesota and close to the yard, I got it.

    i think he meant more along the lines of you could air down the tires on that machine enough to get it to 13'6"
