    IMG_1097.JPG IMG_1068.JPG Picked this Armadillo up from the factory & delivered it to the customer.

    Legal height & length, 12' wide, 80,000 lbs.

    Then after delivering that got a call to rush back to town to do another power only load, hauled 29,000 pounds of tools out to a well in West Texas that was leaking & threatening to blowout.

    Sat on the site all day, on the clock, then hauled it back. A total of 4 trucks, the other 3 picked up theirs 4-6 hours earlier than me & I still got there before they did. Seems the other drivers didn't understand that it was a time critical load & decided to goof off on their way out there. I only made the stops required by DOT for the 30 minute break & load checks.

    Worked out for me as the people in charge guaranteed me more work in the future. I'll gladly drop what I am doing to accommodate them if possible.

    Time critical work pays real good.

    He won't

    All he will see is ehrenberg and maybe Blythe in the distance. I will be taking both trailers the rest
    Of the way.

    How's about meeting me in Oxnard on Tuesday morning and lending me your mechanical Multiaxle experience? Would be a great ride down the northern heavens you hang out in?

    It would give Zoe another shot at you or vice versa
     
    Oxbow, cnsper, passingthru69 and 6 others Thank this.
