Post flatbed load photos here V2.0

What brand trailer? On our utility brand trailers there is a valve about 5’ in front of the front axle up high on the trailer. Set the trailer brakes, push the valve in to release the spring brakes on the front axle, and pull the release lever. Maybe yours has a small brake chamber to release the pins. Crawl under there and I bet you could figure it out.

 

They are about 200lbs each, so you can scoot them around but require forklift or some such for loading and unloading.

 

Yeah i have 2014 fontaine infinity combo . I will have to get under there and look , thanks !

 

6stop load, 2 in pa, 1 CT, 1 RI ,2MA. Lift gates. Deliver the remaining Monday and pick up a container in Newark going to Long Beach. And zip up the 15 for home.

Half the gates already delivered. Chilling in RI atm.

 

Yeah, that's the same load. And that was EXACTLY what I was thinking as i pulled up to it. And yeah I did get out my tape measure on the left side. 13'6".

and the right side was pretty much "WTF?"

 

Today was steel day
1st load to airport 1 beam, 27,000lbs

as you can see, was cold and dark

2nd load to airport


again only one beam, this one only 20,000lbs. not sure why they don't combined more stuff on them. I just drive the truck.

3rd load to airport.


see now that's what we're talking about.

then they send me off to go this wall panels. (galvanized steel)


11.5 feet wide. They say take 6 40' straps. now all the loads look about like that. 4 10' long stacks. HTF is 6 straps going to do it???? Yeah I called and said bring me two more. (it's not done, he literally showed up as I was taking the picture). This, BTW was the non-muddy spot in the yard. That yard is a #### mess. ever hear of roadbase?

yes, BTW this was all today.
"oh but local is so easy"

 

Sorry mr broker. A truck and 6 towers actually will NOT fit on a 48 so im gonna need a new BOL and ratecon BEFORE i shove off.

 

Machine parts, huge piston for a hydraulic cylinder and some sort of ring thing. Picked it up in CT going to TN. Plans changed as usual. Was supposed to load yesterday, but they werent ready to load.

Driver who backed in before me took an hour and hit the stop sign, and the gate. And he had help, he just wasnt listening to the crew. They were giving him good instructions.

 

I cant tell you how many times i made that #### trip moving from springfield.

84 to scranton is cheapest bridge. The sheetz at mt jackson va i81 exit 273 is cheapest fuel, then 412 in dandridge tn @ speedway is next. My headliner was covered in magic marker notes.

 

11.5 feet wide, 45,000lbs. (great big concrete box, the wide part at the bottom is solid)


Get to the jobsite, you sure you got enough crane? Oh yeah, no problem. Take a wild guess what happened next?
Yeah, not enough crane. "oh can you back up?"
sure, once you lift it off, cuz see you backed me into this hole and now the frame is on the mud. (and it was mud, so not enough traction).

They finally got it off, it take ummmmmmmm efforts. I'm sure totally OHSA compliant

Then go get and preload a man hoist and parts (for buildings under construction)
