    image.jpeg image.jpeg Not a BIG load, but one that everyone loves to move. Went in this morning and got it off a job site that is going to be a mud hole tomorrow at 6am.

    20 hrs. a week isn't bad and probably keeps you from getting bored or in trouble!

    This really happens? How does this take place at all?

    Permits?
    Speed limit?
    1 trailer or 2? If 2 how do they keep it together seems like it would snap from separation or bind from collision.

    Old school way, 2 trailers
    That’s how they started out doing it where I’m at. They say it worked better then you would think. Drivers have to communicate stay in sync and hold the spacing..

    I’m guessing they’re staying on site if that’s recent, can’t imagine they can permit that today but i don’t know
     
    beastr123 and booley Thank this.
