Big Loads - Post Photos Number 2

Carl said 100k or so

Stealing my freight......

 

Tough lookin setup there.

 

The ld weighs 100k
The owner saw no humor in me asking for 1 more axle and the spreader bar for my regular trl. It's only rated at 45 ton
The Aspen setup the neck is to short. Setup for a tandem tractor in the rear
This setup I'm pulling is lighter than the BBB, even though more axles

 

Hey we tried offering you a ld. But no you were out west trading trks. Lol

 

Yeah yeah

 

Heaviest thing I've ever hauled here.

Time from arrival to finished loading and tarping is 9.5hrs.

Now to go find a scale.

 

Final weights on that rotor:



Permitted for
20,000/54,000/60,000

Boss was afraid I wouldn't be able to slide under it enough to load the steers so they ordered way heavy on the drives.

Did the math on it and set it perfect on the first try.

This load was also a bit of a test to see just how close I could get to the 20/46 split.

Truck rode like a dream with the steers loaded up. Front end has never been that smooth.

That 2" of frame clearance was hard though. It hit twice. The first one left a pretty good gouge in the frame.

 

I dont think he is. Wrong side of the world for you!!

 

Maybe you are right .....

 

Had to work the old girl out today since the big horse is out of commission.
