    Yes - as long as it doesn’t have a thumb and giant bucket or a hammer - I can scale it daily easily as they go 110-115k

    The heaviest one I encountered was the one I took to Ohio - it was 131with thumb and bucket. They took the bucket off.

    The 352 model I can scale with no bucket as well.

    The beam is makes these a lot easier for me than my deck but they take a little longer for me to load
     
    MartinFromBC, sawmill, SAR and 5 others Thank this.

    I can’t afford retirement - and I still get antsy at home after a week.

    You should consider using your god given talents and finely honed skills pulling this beam.

    apparently I must go to an ugly wind farms to load a track next Wednesday in Mojave (all 3 of the trucks in the fleet are running to Cali and then back to TX) so i think Tuesday would be a perfect day to start....

    Thanks Rontonio. Figured it was somewhere in the 80 to 90 ton range. Truckdad is right, you should retire. Sleeping in till 7, yes....
