He got his 'escorts' alright.. not the ones he should've had, LoL. Not in Ohio....we are lenient to a 'point' ...but not THAT lenient... I was like WTF?!?!?! Then he got the reds and blues into the 'station' .. When I came 'back thru' the rig was still there....and a tow truck and crane were on scene. I had things to do, no idea, what happened. Yeah, a ton of crazy, for sure~!!

The overhang is extreme. I don't know what that would do to the tractor steering and weights up front. 35 feet of concrete is #### heavy back there.
Dare I ask if that actually delivered?FerrissWheel and G13Tomcat Thank this. -
See?!? At my age, it's YEP, NOPE.. haha~!!FerrissWheel Thanks this.

Thatd be what AZ would have you do, get a stretch. That's immediately what i thought of. But it seems like i recall a state that lets you get away with it as long as 2/3rds is on the trailer, which at 35 foots its not granted. Yeah.... Hes missing some stuff. And i i think the hard limit was 25ft unsuppoted and only very specific commodity.
I know none of my states do that crap. -
Seeing as the spread is his balence point just about, somewhere between crap and oh no my drivers are off the ground
-
Ohio, yeah not at all dont pass go.

shakes my head.
It would be quite something to see a tractor unable to do it.
I must ask what are they thinking blindly putting stuff that big on trucks too small. Thats almost a rail car deck load.FerrissWheel and G13Tomcat Thank this. -
We where asked to block the strap or chain in the middle and to pad under the block and corners with carpet. I found that a staplegun held the middle block in place and did no damage to the strap if the block was short.FerrissWheel and G13Tomcat Thank this.

No clue. I was on 23 (perhaps?) or 223... circumvented that 'train wreck' of a load. Actually took the pics on my QC (I know I hate that word) so I could bounce it to the company. They don't care HOW / WHERE we route.... so... I implemented my own bypass. I was like WTF royally. I've never pulled anything THAT big, long, OS/OD... but I sure would be all the wiser, had I attempted that. Sheesh.Tug Toy, FerrissWheel and x1Heavy Thank this.

And thats what im thinking, , maybe thats it though. I mean, ive seen some stupid shippers, but id think whoever was making that wouldn't even dare. Maybe a 3rd party idk.
