Where is everyone #5

I'd say you are correct!
When I was in my 30's I could lift like a jack, now not so much. We break ourselves down sometimes.

 

I hauled a load or two out of Schaumburg. Always took forever.

 

I have powerlifted in my past, had a respectable bench,squat and deadlift. Nothing is more humbling than grabbing a dock plate thinking it’s aluminum dock plate and that thing doesn’t move because it’s plate steel. Or a 1k heifer that’s laying down and you can’t budge her. If only they were connected to a 45 lb Olympic bar, LOL.

 

Hasn’t changed unless your super lucky and get a pre-loaded trailer... even then take your appointment time and add five hours.

 

Load I took up was 13 pieces, over 41K those little chunks can fool ya lol. Those barrels had even smaller pieces in individual buckets.

 

I’ve rolled up on flatbeds hauling big pipe triple stacked and capped on the end. Coming up from behind it looks like lead pipe, and I’m thinking what the???? Then when you get to the bulkhead you see it’s hollow.

 

Those aren’t 8 foot 4x4s are they..? You probably had to cut them down due to the sliding tarp?

 

Yep lol! When I worked and drove for R&L Drilling, we had drill stem 5 feet long to go back through a building to the elevator. Drill didn't have down pressure so you used weight to hold the hammer shut when drilling... using 1300 cfm x 150 psi compressor. Those 5 foot stems weighed 615 lbs each, I use to grab the male end, stand it up and roll it like a oxygen bottle in tight corners through the building. I'm sure that's why I use these now...

 

Shouldn’t, the track is outside of the rails.

 

I was thinking the same thing but maybe I’m wrong...

I had a...moment... scrolled by that photo real quick and thought his trailer was 12’ wide or something.
