know it all equipment operator

Case CX 800 with 60" bucket.

 

I have a good idea about our guys ability so I also wave them on. To be honest I load and unload enough that I get kinda tired of climbing in and out of thing, I figure their already in there the might as well load it.

 

Cat 777F Rock Truck, less dump box is the biggest whole machine I've loaded.

 

Not only that, with a competent operator I have them load the machine too if they want to. But, I stand on the back axles and direct them where I want the machine centered. Works well if you do not have a ####y operator.

 

Got a call this week to move a 777 OK to WY - no we don't want to take the bed off...

Uh not so much for me

 

In reality they don't have a choice...it's not a "local" move for service, so because it takes less than 8hrs to remove the box and doesn't destroy the value it must be removed.

 

I know but the broker wasn't that bright, like the guy moving the 988 I talked to today - 16 tall for $5/mile all in really?

 

Pop 4 pins and hook on a crane. Not much to it.

 

16' tall? I'm assuming your talking about on the deck not a beam?

 

Deck, no beam

I ain't as blessed as HH
