Big Loads - Post Photos Number 2

You're a problem solver. It's a different kind of science.

I try to stay out of Minnesota. But if I go there, it's Nelson Bros for dinner. Love the prime rib. Their bleu cheese burger is legendary. I don't care for Bloody Mary drinks, but have you ever seen theirs? And Carly has been the barkeep for decades.

 

ron, I got one of your loads on today. dang thing ended up weighing 99760lbs. very close on my axle groups. supposed to of weighed 94000lbs but they failed to take in account the winch on the back until I got there and pointed it out!! Oh and the cute little blond that showed up to be my pilot car made me feel warm and fuzzy! gona be a fun trip!

 

I'm curious, with that big front end can you ever get 20,000 up there?

 

the most I think I have had was 15000lbs. need a longer neck to get more.

 

Hey that's ok cause I have one of your loads on now (D8R cable layer) heading to AZ - supposed to be 94k but is more like 88k. But it needs AZ state hwy permit weights so work for me.

Thought you were taking the week off?

I am sitting east of Denver waiting out the last 45 minutes of afternoon curfew.

 

Ok well we got to deliver the bridge beams on Wednesday.

Ooops! What happened to the truck?... LOL

Well we were so far to the side of the bridge that the cranes could not reach far enough to pick both ends of the beam at the same time so they picked the beam off the truck and I got out of the way. I was standing on the steps taking the photo. They they used a telehandler forklift to drag the trailer backwards so the other crane could reach that end. Yes we can release all the brakes just for this purpose.

Yesterday I got to move 4 conveyors and a rock crusher. No photos of those.

But today I got to move a 824 loader to Great Falls.

 

Been playing wrecker driver the last couple of days.

 

LOL, I just noticed that the three guys with their hands in their pockets...... Those are all Government employees.

 

You sure? Most of the time the government employees are in other people's pockets.

 

i am just going to be a couple of days later.
