Big Loads - Post Photos Number 2

Is there any way conceivable to move a 777G from WY to WA without breaking it down?

 

How much money do you wanna spend
Then getting high rte will be the kicker

 

Loaded this up this morning in Fenton, MO, bound for Albuquerque

 

Nice!

 

Reason I'm asking is got an email this AM from the outfit I'm trying to work with saying the tear-down work is "on hold" because a broker told the customer "they move them all the time" put together & under bid the move. I was a bit skeptical on that claim with something that big, but what do I know?
2nd "on-hold" project recently because of brokers under bidding this guy, the first one was a doozy "What? Really? Good luck with that."
I thought I was getting away from that BS, apparently not.

 

20' wide 15' 6" tall on the ground

Tare weight of 148k-164k

Sure go right ahead....

773 maybe but other than a short local move - I think it some what wishful thinking.

Just moving the bed at 20 wide is going to suck. It at least the height will be more reasonable

 

Moving more tanks. These were 18'2" tall, 16'6" wide, 24' long, just 16,000 pounds. East Texas to Jal, NM.

 

Moved this yesterday. 13 wide, 14 tall, 215k lbs. With width restrictions on I80 due to construction in Omaha, NDOT decided I needed to take surface streets thru downtown Omaha in order to cross into Iowa.

 

There are mines IN Wyoming that you could move a 777 complete from and to, but that would only be INSIDE the state of WY out in the middle of nowhere. Depending where in WA, maybe, but there's no route that I'm aware of...or would even want to take!
The only other jurisdiction I know of in North America where you can move a 777 complete is Alberta, but then again they move 793's whole...they build their oversize routes specifically for the oil & gas industry.

To haul a 777(D, F, G, ...);
1)remove the box, outer rear drive tires.
2)back unit over trailer with neck removed.
3)place your front blocks!
4)open the nitrogen accumulator reliefs for the steering tires. Hope you followed step 3 first!
5)chain the front spindles UP so they won't drop when you lift the trailer.
6)re-attach the neck, and lift the trailer so the crew can do step 7
7)remove the front tires
8)finish tying the beast down...

Yes I've done a few
Tried to go into the way back time machine, but I can't even find them, I've posted pics here of loading them before. They're probably in Big Load Photos, the original...

 

@Heavy Hammer again is on the money
Sit back and let "Bob's" Discount brokering fo it and the fool who books it for dumb money. Then when they fail you go get it for 1 and 1/2 times more as the broker will be on the hook for payment. 3 trks I think, unless they have to cut bed in half due to rteing issues
Wish you the best on this and hopefully the shipper will realize you guys are right and go with you to start
