Post flatbed load photos here V2.0

Soooooo much easier to chain before you need to!

 

I put my weight on the bar once and broke the tip off

 

Talking about big boys. My cousin dispatched several oo's and had one on a weekly load. He called in and said he had a problem and was overloaded, my cousin checked and everything was the same, he should have been maxed, but legal. Finally the guy told him the problem was his wife was riding with him that week. lol

 

I haven't broken a bar yet. But i have busted a snap binder. Pulled that sucker clean apart. (and yeah, i took a tumble)

 

lucky for me, when that tip came off...the ground broke my fall

 

manholes. Excuse me. concrete structures.



Load #2. Get to the jobsite. Get in place. Guy shows up with a loader with forks. Hey, this weighs 32,000lbs (no lie). You sure? yeah yeah yeah, he says no problem.

well
yeah
problem. couldn't budge it

Had to go get a great big forklift. I freaking told you so.

Then i had to go preload one of these with cement powder. I felt a little dirty.


The ticket says "load 35 tons". I hook it and start doing some math and think "wait, that's 70,000lbs, that's way too much." Call dispatch, you sure that's not a typo?

Oh yeah, you're right, load 25 tons.
Well that makes a whole lot more sense.

 

Loaded a baby coil today in Chatt. TN.

 

This bad boy hunk 'o concrete (that dude in the pic is like 5'10" tall) manhole base.


10' wide (yeah O/S load), like 9' tall and like 34,000lbs

They couldn't get the crane into the spot to take it off, so they finally took it off with a excavator on one side and a loader on the other. Was ummmmmm interesting.

did a couple inlets for the 2nd load, totally forgot to take a pic.

 

Just a plank load to Connecticut that I almost forgot to photograph...

 

Been, doing rebar and scrap. CMC cut the fleet down. I volunteered to leave, back in the OTR fleet with a brand new shiny KW. This was from last week, stylized for your viewing pleasure. (Cause rebar is kinda well,,, rebar) And my lazyness of not blurring stuff out.
