    I'm picking up a load that is a modular bank vault. It's supposed to consist of a few 11' long, 2' thick slabs of concrete that go together to make a vault. Sounds interesting

    No, but have hauled a lot of concrete per-cast panels. Are they going to load them flat or angle them on a rack?

    Supposedly they lay them flat. They are 11' long, 5' wide and 2' thick. Agent said they stack them as well on wood 4x8's and all I have to do is strap them down. Weight is about 42,000 #'s........ either way, I'll be sure to get some pictures. I told the agent I wanted the load that had the money inside it, not just the walls LOL

    It would be nice to get the contents as well :biggrin_25519:

    By my calculations, based on 150lbs per cf that has served me well.... They should weigh 16,500lbs per panel. Can't wait to see the pics, love the irregular loads..:biggrin_25519:

    Easy load. Great agent too, if it's who I'm thinking of. I took one out to SLC for him. You gotta love old school agents with contract freight at good rates.

    Hauled a bank vault door one time outa Parumph,NV - Denver,CO.
    Had the frame attached and weighed 45k, 12' wide. Never knew that all that was made of steel in a bank vault was the door assy.
