Where is everyone #2!!

Rocking it Jumbo style today. 100' OAL and thank goodness I didn't listen to the shipper about the weight and only brought a flip otherwise I would have had to do some stacking to haul a jeep and flip on the upper deck. If this thing is even 20k# I'd be shocked. They brought it out of the building with two 12k forklifts and they weren't struggling. I came up Mounteagle at 60 so definitely far from heavy, just long and a little wide.

 

Home for the night. Dropped my trailer to be loaded with some grain handling equipment that I'll bring to Iowa tomorrow.

 

Aurora, Oregon at the TA... hoping to kick off all three drops tomorrow then get south for Christmas. Check engine light came on again and I'm starting to think this truck is cursed

 

Southbound I 75 rest area in Florence, Kentucky. Have a 14'x80' silo going to Atlanta. 140' from the headlights to the taillights.

 

Not even heavy enough to take the arch out of the trailer.

 

I wish my stretch ld. was that light. I had to raise up the trl. and then put cribbing under it. Then lower the trl.on the cribbing and chain the trl. to the ld.
Raised it about 2 more inches. Now it's level not sagging.

 

another turned up today, but those idiots still didnt get us stretched out

Remember to stop before it comes apart. Haha

 

It's sitting on the cribbing at the step and over the rear axle, not touching anywhere else on the trailer.

 

That was NOT us Midwest trucks there cheeky!
I believe the driver in question will indeed take it a bit easier next time though...
Thinking there will be some stink eye's tomorrow, as a flease operator was listening to me and Cody talk at dinner, and me on the fone to our office. He felt the need to stand up, walk over, and state "I'm with @#$, and we aren't all the same".... Guilty conscience maybe? Funny part is, his pilot was with him, and me and Cody just got through talking about the 30cpm difference between what our pilots get paid, and their pilots get paid......
