    That's a smaller one, operating weight about 64k-65k pounds. The side booms I've worked around had an operating weight of about 120k or so.

    I knew what he was thinking.

    I left the booster off for 3 reasons

    1 it was already off from when I stacked up coming home from Texas last week. It was 111 degrees n my yard and spending an hour or so putting it back on seemed retarded.

    2 the load I went to get only weighed 65k and I was pretty sure I could just scale it on my goofy 8 axle setup

    3 into having it saved me $1500 or so in pilot cars for the trip

    Or I was hot and I am lazy and stupid

    No problem, it’s routine to me so I don’t usually post pictures but maybe I should.
