    This guy said this paid $90,000.00
    To go from Galveston Texas to Bridgeport WV plus $1000.00 per day detention while the customer tried to figure out how to get this 180,000 pound metal thing up the side of a mountain via a dirt logging road.
    Not sure if he was pulling my leg or not.

    Very cheap. You can get a grand a day detention with a 5 axle rig.

    Middle TN.

    As for the load in question, it's still in limbo. I'm supposed to have a meeting about it next week.

    We had platforms side by side with saddle cradles going across to each in with the cradles attached to a 11" center pin to each. If I can dig out the pictures, I'll post them. If I remember right. We was something like 27' outside of platform cradle platform.

    Who did you work for? Barnhart?

    I've worked with the Knoxville Barnhart branch in the past on some big moves.
