Big Loads - Post Photos Number 2

LOL... anything but the bacon....

Doc said I need to exercise for 30 minutes a day and get my heart rate up. I asked if I could watch the debates instead. He said nope, that will get your BP too high also.... LOL Gotta love a doc with a sense of humor.

 

I know that's right. Means that I've got a bunch of ugly trailers because there's about 50 sitting in my yard empty right now. Some people collect tractors others collect trucks I guess I collect trailers.

 

Shoot, we have 10 trucks and about 30 different trailers. They come in handy when we have a bunch of precast to move because we can start days ahead of time and stage trailers near the drop site, have one or 2 trucks shuttle them and then we stack them and bring em home.

 

If I counted them all up there's probably more than fifty but I've only got 7 trucks. I think there's ten flats, five steps, two rgn's, four oilfield lowboys, four step stretches, eighteen pneumatics, and 15 tankers and I know I'm forgetting a few. My friends keep telling me to sell some but all but a couple are paid for so they don't hurt anything sitting against the fence.

 

Had to go load this Volvo grader today, 35km in northern ontario bush. It broke down and could only move around slowly. It was a great time getting it onto the trailer lol.

PS, it was left running for the ride back to the main highway(The watershed truck stop, along HWY 144; if anyone is familiar with Northern ON), to get a pail to shove over the exhaust as I didn't have a big enough plug for it and ran out of duct tape on my week long adventure this week.

 

You can try Exit 98, Millersville, Tn. Old Truckstop across from Waffle House, It's just a vacant lot last time I was thru there. You may try Exit 108 there are a few spaces @ the Hardee's, or you may give Terex Equipment Services a call they are just up the road on Edenway Drive, they has a large gravel lot, Last is Exit 112 Sad Sam's Fireworks has a few spots or Mapco Mart has a few spots. Maybe one of these will work out for you.

 

Thank you I'll look for those. I really want to get out of Nashville curfew tomorrow so I don't have to wait on Monday as they're going to have a crane waiting at 7am.

 

I hope one of those places work out for you, they have worked for me in the past.

 

Nah, it's not that much...call Danny, he built a 75ton deck for less than that

 

Just wanted to post of this pic I took a couple years ago of my very first heavy load.
