    That unload nearly took out my passenger side drives. Destroyed two oak 4x4's. Imagine the noise of 26 tons of nickel alloy hitting the ground in a giant game of "pick up sticks".

    Yeah, you park next to a down slope. Had I known he would have pushed the entire load off in one go I would have stopped him. He shoved both layers at once, with the dunnage. That's the first and last time I deliver there.
     
    Rusty Trawler and free spirited1 Thank this.

    I used to haul culverts
    Went to a sight with a 96inch 50 ft
    Called a guy to meet me there
    He pointed 200ft down a steep bank to a creek. All the trees on the bank had been cut to 4ft stumps
    A lot of them
    I said, how ya gonna get it there?
    He said, undo the straps and let her roll.
    I said, really? Are you sure?
    He said, you got any other ideas?
    Dang that was fun to watch
    Like the world's coolest pin ball game.
    Sometimes it bounced 30ft in the air, sometimes it somersaulted end over end, but it ended up a the bottom.
    Neither of us said a word, just watched.
    He signed the bill and left.
    I took 2 more there
    I never enjoyed deliveries more than those 3.

    Just a question for the day. Has anyone scaled their load 8 times today at CAT Scale?
