The windshield shade outside the window is awesome.

 

My wife has been pestering me about a camper, problem solved.

 

Probably an upgrade from his last sleeper

 

I only had time and only thought about it once to get a photo of this bridge beam. This baby was 102 feet long and weighed just shy of 140k. Grossing somewhere in the neighborhood of 200k with the jeep and dolly. I was 149 feet, bumper to bumper. Oh and I hate traffic lights, especially when they turn yellow and the trailer turns right. What a pain that is. Anywho... here is the photo.

 

Well, back to normal kinda today with the exception that this thing went up to a mine and the trailer tires went off the bank on one turn. All you can do when that happens is close your eyes and hit the throttle... LOL Told him to cancel the grader because I leveled off all the high spots... Hint, don't take the trailer with the 28' deck into the woods.

 

Man I haven't seen let alone hauled a 225 for years wow. The company I used to work for had 225's, 235's, and 245's. They are kinda primitive by today's standards but they are work horses. They say on that style of Cat if you step on both travel pedals it gives you more power. If you tell that story around most operators to day they'll say something like "won't that just make it move" you know then they've never ran one of these machines.

 

Did you need a pry bar to get your rear end away from the seat of the truck?
Glad that turned out OK for you!
