    Not bad at all, considering the family of steel.

    The guy that delivered it even gave me a hand sliding it into place.
    He left with a Benjamin.....

    So, I've got a big move to do the first of next week. It's going to be 15 high 15'8" wide and 127000 gross. It's going from sc to kc,mo. The hieght and wgt I'm cool with. However up till now 14 is as wide as I've gone. To be honest it makes me a little nervous, kinda like my first 10 wide. I'm sure once I get a few miles with it I'll settle in. Do any of you guys have any tips or tricks to share? Something I may wish I knew going into it. Thanks!

    I think I had a @Big_Red sighting this afternoon. Shiny blue truck with a big red tractor headed east.

    Yes sir that was me. Don't judge my front banner lol. Brainstorming a bolt/wing nut combo to hold it or maybe some of those screw in button fasteners to fix it up. And some of those flag brackets that have the post with an ear to quick connect.

    Where did we cross?

    Well the idea from the get go was to run on seven axles. It weighs 23k wet on its own and 48k with the trailer on.
