    If you look at the first picture see how the whole piece is tipped on the trailer. Must have done something to tip it that bad.

    Thats a whole lotta trailer. I've seen the some of the smaller companies do it. Some guy starts a company, gets a financial backer to help him buy a truck and a multi axle, put a guy that's been hauling sticks and bricks behind the wheel, and start moving freight. Instant disaster.

    Cant remember where here I got this pic from, but I laugh when I look at it. You don't try a U turn with a stretch, let alone with a jeep and stinger.

    The trick is to have your route with all the over height bypasses scoped out before you roll. Problem for me is I need glasses to read and none to drive so it's like juggling cats. Or you just do part of your route and pull over every hour and memorize the next couple of bypasses for height. Not as easy as that guy made it look ;)

    I was following the remnants of a chopped up sawmill on a flat deck through the Roger's pass in western Canada when "thung" he said did you hear something? I said i di "thung" there it is again. He did not make it through the snow sheds and the dents in the signs can still be seen 20 years later. lmao
