    Looks like I'm "Back in the Saddle Again" Acouple days ago, the fellow that replaced me when I kinda retired 2 yrs ago got in a fight with the end dump driver. Both are in their mid 30 and pretty stout dudes. The bigger lowbed driver alledgedl IMG_3358.JPG y grabbed the other fellow by the throat. The slightly smaller end dump driver turned out to have a black belt in something and had done some cage fighting? Big fellow got laid out. Quick. So they are both getting fired. The black belt filed an assult charge with the PD to protect himself as he was a blackbelt?? I don't know much about this stuff.
    So I got a call last night and now I have volunteered to help out til they get some replacements. 66 yrs. old and now I gotta cover for 2 guys. Who wants to help??lol.

    I'm sure you can find some left coast guys on here to help out!! I'm sure they could learn a thing or 20 from a veteran heavy hauler!! If ya'were a lil closer to the right coast I'd prolly come help for the experience!!

    This load is a big old LeBlond lathe that is about 56 ft long and about 65,000 lbs heavy.

    I blew a trailer tire on the road with this machine. Just hit a bump on the highway.

    My gross weight was 100,000 lbs.
