Post flatbed load photos here V2.0

Been there, done that. Never again.

 

Six, kinda like the yard in Gary. The old polish lady who kinda did the cleaning
Nice lady, but the cleaning. Well. ..

 

Never met her. Never stayed over in one of their yards. Seems like the guys that stay on the yards are the scum of the earth. Fat, effeminate dime dropping, non driving sidewalk sissies and I still have a spine. Cant associate with sidewalk sissies.

 

i actually like it alot. i had a 660/eaton 10spd before, and the cummins isx15 in it was turned down to 430hp.

this truck has the dt12 automated/505hp/1850tq dd15. it pulls great for a company truck. i also like the extra room in it being full width. and the fold out desk for my laptop and cooking is pretty cool. the jake on this thing is a beast compared to my 660, at 60k gross i just leave the cruise on and anything under a 5% i dont have to touch the brakes

 

Picked this compressor up today. I could tell it was Gunna be a tight fit the moment I saw it. They were Gunna ship it on 6x6 blocks. I told them it wouldn't work and we need to use my 4x4s. Even that was too tall. The guys were getting frustrated and I could tell they were about to send me away so I told them at 4 pm they weren't Gunna get another truck in here and I wouldn't get another load so let's figure it out. They agreed so I suggested 2X4s and of course they didn't have any so I grabbed 4 of my 1x4 v boards and stuck those under. We had to set it on the 6X6s to get the tip of the forks just under each side to set her down and that worried them that the load and trailer would tip so I lowered my drive bags and landing gear to stabilize the trailer and we finally set her down. Of course it was still too tall but we were able to remove the exhaust cover and she just barely fit. Awful lot of work for one friggin piece.

 

Good job. I guess they'll be able to get forks under it when you unload? Or will it be a crane on that end?

 

Check out the big brain on Chewy!

In other news, Norton Metals in Fort Worth must be some meticulous fools. Been sitting here 24 hours and still not unloaded. You've been warned!

 

Hehehe another forklift. But it's just from aggreko to aggreko so no customers to piss off. There's just enough room to get the tips of the forks in and start blocking it up.

 

Better you then me. I just got lucky and had the trump card because of the time. Their customer needs it tomorrow and I was their only shot.

 

So the decorative panels that sit around the base of that big Christmas tree in NYC are clad in 14k gold.
Makes me feel like I need to charge more...
