    The truck/lowboy with the old '8 on it is our current rig we use to do our heavy hauling.

    I mostly am drag and dropping random pictures, most of them were on a basement I was digging.

    Yeah, you have to be careful buying a used heavy haul truck. There's lots of old three axle trucks turned four axle that are cobbled together. How some of these trucks don't break in half going down the road I'll never know.

    We've really taken pretty good care of her. Also I should be a professional photographer and stop playing in the dirt.

    But playing in the dirt is more fun.

    sounds like you know moving equipment around, even short hauls is EXPENSIVE when you hire it out. I know, I make darn good money doing it.
    you need the right tools to do the job.
    Me, 46 rears, lockers, 4sp aux, 18sp, 600hp, 2050tq, I'm happy.
    you mentioned a flip, 4th (?) on your trailer. Be careful with that most states you mentioned won't let you go full 80k on quad axle, WY only 74k, MT 68,600, bunch more out west. I finally got tired of the hassle and bought a stinger.
    pic of 627g push/pull on quad 2nd bolster 79k and change not legal very many west states.
    1st bolster 74k better but only a few states. Good Luck.

    No sir!! I could and would if HAD to, and lots of time. But I'm lazy to the core, I'll pay anyone to guide me on. Done it to many time on site in the dark. Lost my nerve :) . And thanks.

    The boss man had mine custom spec. built. If you're gonna go Mack you can't beat these specs for heavy haul. I would recommend these specs in a pre-2007(pre-EGR, DPF)

    -Engine: MP8
    -Front Axle: 14,600 LBS
    -Rear Axle: 46,000 LBS
    -Ratio: 3.91
    -Trans: 13
    -Double Frame
    -Double Lockers

    Any idea what that unit weighs? Wet kit? Wheelbase?

    Thanks for your input

    What were you on the drives and steer loaded that way?

    1st bolster vs 2nd

    I am always hesitant to book one of these as I am worried about burying the drives
