    Might be starting with a company that supports the natural gas industry on Monday.I'm told that some of the pumps they use can be in excess of 100,000 lbs.While I'm sure I wouldn't start right out pulling them,I may very well be doing that some time down the road as I gain experience.What advice do you have for pulling those types of loads?PS: I posted this on another thread but just remembered this forum was here.Thanks in advance.

    they can be easy inecess of 100,000lbs. the biggest thing is not be afraid to ask somone,still laod center in very important,they are wide tall and heavy,need to look for loose bolts, pipes,make sure your permits are right. I have moved many from N.Michigan to S.E. Texas always an iteresting trip.get familiar with oversize load reg's. they have you start with cooler sections or may put you right in the mess.just keep your cool level head open mind.there is a lot to learn in the oil and gas feilds.
