An old man's career goes flat, Snackbar moves to open deck

Was an unusual sight in our little town, we're kinda off the beaten path, and they were headed away from the interstate. Not sure where they were headed, there isn't a lot on that route between us and the next major populated areas (namely Perry, then Tallahassee) other than small towns and pine tree farms there is a whole lot of nothin'. And not many places to stop before dark. They even had a single FHP escort.

 

The wife said that OD load that rolled thru town was some sort of solar component. She said that it came into town on US-27 and had to make this left turn downtown...a 2 lane to 2 lane with a long load like that




I didn't notice if it was a steerable rear axle setup like a windmill blade...if it wasn't, that's a heck of a turn because there is street parking on both sides coming into town, and it can get tight for a regular 53' trailer to turn, let alone that long of a trailer. He is a better driver than I am.

 

The video our friend sent was that blurry too...but she uses an older iPhone...

Still a heck if a turn with a 3 axle truck and a 3 axle jeep.

 

Got all the way down to Batesville, MS before shutting down today. Counting the deadhead from Arlington to the shipper, that is 2625 miles (according to my Garmin nag-a-gator) and a live load in 4 days. I noticed on my load info, in the comments of the shipper it says del on Tuesday, but the comments under the receiver says Wednesday, so I will call the delivery in the morning and see when they really want it. I am still 110 miles away, so if they say Tuesday, I can still squeeze in a 34 and deliver 1st thing Tuesday.

 

It was coming from Newberry turning with 27 in High Springs headed towards Fort White. We have some major sized solar farms in the area, maybe they're starting another one somewhere around home

 

This is my load






And everything is exactly where they loaded it.
