Big Loads - Post Photos Number 2

Yep, pretty much.
What a bonehead move.
"nothing to see here, just checking my swing clearance"

 

V. Van Dyke moving beams out of Port of Tacoma. Pretty cool equipment!
"After I left Seal Team 6 I drove for Van Dyke, but couldn't get the miles so I quit"

 

Did an on-site move today

 

Mac, looks like you were either swingin the house too fast & stopped too quick, OR, you loaded it over the side.

 

Side loaded it, then foreman said we are just going straight down the road, so haul it like that if you want, so I did.

 

How about something a tad ugly:


Drug this 40 year old Lo-Pro batch plant out of Vegas. 3 other trucks had shown up saying they could haul it, but, everyone was running 60+ inch condo bunks or didn't have enough rail. 10-ft of nose-overhang on a 244-inch wheelbase, last 6-inches of the load were just over the sleeper. Old pile of junk, too, spent some time fixing things to get her roadable before leaving. When was the last time you saw 9.00x20's in service? I think most of the tires were older than me.


Helluva' lot nicer when they're brand new. Rip Rap screen that went to Calgary. @Heavy Hammer didn't buy me lunch though... cheap skate... Actually wound up with a police escort getting this one to a scale to weigh out, permit office didn't want to take liability for local streets and had local PD show up and take us to the scale. Kinda nice, only had to stop at one stop light!


And a nice easy one, 12-wide, 14-1 tall and weighed almost nothing.

 

That's a cool KW @ColoradoGreen !

 

AND, he's using rubber air lines to trailer!

 

Has to get a lot colder for rubber air lines to go brittle versus plastic.

 

@ColoradoGreen that batch plant didn't go to MT by chance?
