So what's your question?
How to secure it? -
sorry laptop messed up i fixed it
MACK E-6 Thanks this. -
Man you must have a heavy truck empty. I think @truckdad hauls a 140 he might be able to shed some light. We have an 140H but It's probably different enough not to be much help.
fisher guy Thanks this. -
actually that would help cuz im hauling a 140H back to florida haha and yea the new truck is a heavy girl i havent weighed it yet but boss says its around 57,000lbs empty 60 ton 4 axle globe trailer and heavy spec tri axle pete

Heavy, No.. but if overheight, Ga. gets kinda testy. Depends on the scale house.
You still working for the const. company or did you end up going to the other offer after all?fisher guy Thanks this. -
Holy hell that thing is heavy! I had a 4 axle W9, pulled a 3 axle drop side with a flip neck, and was 50k full of fuel and enough 1/2" chains and binders to secure the space shuttle.
As far as your question, I belive you will need to sign it for GA, AL I'm not sure.fisher guy Thanks this. -
I think it will be lighter as those ##%&%#* joysticks & switches surely weigh less that those levers of ages past............Macneil, johndeere4020, Oxbow and 1 other person Thank this.

I'll measure in the am just to be safe if im under 125,000 and legal everywhere else according to what ive read i should be able to run at night in GA am i correct? trying to plan my trip home lol
A second offer came out of the woodwork the day i got my truck back from the a/c place my dream job I'v been trying to land since i came off the road called looking for a transport driver. local construction company but deep pockets very nice equipment and only haul the big stuff 99% of what i pull is d6's up to d9's we also have around 50 Cat 773 haul trucks that we move around quite a bit all over the south east mainly florida but a couple jobs are in MS some in GA and 1 in SC we specialize in mine overburden removal and mass grading....more money better bennies and very stable company
and to think my truck is the little one of the 3 truck fleet lol i do want to weight it for myself just to see like i said that is what the boss saidpassingthru69 Thanks this. -
