    He's got enough axles on the ground to haul it, if the rate's right.

    I gave them rate, should hear back in the morning. It's a Landstar load, so who knows. Was going to ask what you would charge them for screwing with it if they don't pay my rate.

    Hauling it is going to suck. A lot. I have it loaded off center but that black mast weighs close to 40k so it leans like a mother!

    I am worn out today after having to figure out how to lower the mast so it wasn't 16'8" on my trailer and having to untie it and move it then re-tie it.

    I went up to Ritxhie Bros to load it, with my short neck. It was no fun to move it with 9k on the steer axle and 70k on the drives. Not much steering to be had

    Yea, I know, but if he bid it for 50k and it grows I know he will be asking, telling them more money or it will be going back.
    Just wonder if he got the right amount or off lded.

    Told them $7 mile plus permits and escorts -

    I think it should be a little higher but they about died when I told them that.

    Well that's a tough call. Me for all the hassles, I would start at 500.00 You lost a day on this deal.

    No it's my load to Galveston. Missed the AB load, they moved for $16k. Makes me sick.

    I was thinking more like $1000 since I had to screw with it and then scale it.

    Probably get screwed just like the load last week that ended up over 100k lbs and I went 300 miles round trip to get.

    Yea a grand is good. Plus if it sits in your yard more than 2 days and you have to wait for another trk. Well then there is storeage and handling fees as well
     
    Rontonio Thanks this.

    They used the Ritchie spec for a 320 CL which is the lower half.#### thing is a frankenmachine, I think.
