Big Loads - Post Photos Number 2

Crash looks real to me. Police car in the back blocking traffic EXCEPT I don't see any signs of EMS trying to rescue the driver.

Secondly how fast would he have to been going to make the entire machine jump over the neck? Kind of looks like they are in a parking lot, not a road.

Idk hmmm

Will wait for johndeere's article.

 

Here is one article with more photos.... Happened in Clarksville, TN

Looks to me like a case of "I have done it this way all my life" kinda things. This was only back in 2013 too, so not that long ago.

 

Left the house yesterday and bounced to Davenport, OK and loaded earlier heading to Houston.

 

Been a little busy, thanks @cnsper for posting that, I had the first article. I had never seen the second one, interesting reading.

 

Man, it would be nice if they made the allowance for 16 tire setups here.

 

It may be a stupid question, but one I've been wanting to ask for a long time.... How in the hell do you service the wheel ends on the inside positions of a West Coast set up? Especially on a 102" wide trailer.

 

Skinny mechanics...it's a PITA!

 

@truckdad , I don't believe anybody even makes a "fixed" 102"W wheeler? It pretty much has to be 10'W or there wouldn't be enough space to even remove tires as far as I know. The only 102's I've ever seen are expandable.
