    Possibly, but really there are only 1 or 2 companies that have the equipment to move something like this.

    NCSG
    Mammoet
    Possibly another I can't think of off the top of my head

    I wonder how much of an issue it is for everyone to stay in time with the others?
    1/4 MPH slower or faster will affect the others.

    Coming to a stop... everyone has to get off the fuel at once?
    Hard on trannys being out of time etc?
    I wonder if its really an issue in a situation like that?

    Yeah, I'm thinking it's pretty difficult to be perfectly insync. I bet there are moments where guys are swearing at each other lol

    Worked with a guy who did the multi truck loads. I actually asked him specifically about this. Said you just shift whenever you need to. No need to coordinate other than stopping and starting.

    Premay, LaPrairie, Sarens. I've seen a few ALE Roll-Lift C5's moving OSOW stuff as well. I still see the odd Entrec truck around Edmonton but I thought they went under a while back.

    I was told this morning they have 4 more of those vessels to move. I do 200 -300 ton push pull stuff (crawler cranes) and it’s painfully boring if you’re not the guy steering.

    Is that just in western Canada? I can think of quite a few others in the states.
