Big Loads - Post Photos Number 2

Moving this slag pot from PA to Arkansas. 15.5 wide at 116k pounds.

 

Yes. Twin 150’s. The 3rd batch of these trucks they spec’ed a 120 on the drivers side so they could run a bigger step box for more storage. I would prefer that setup honestly.

 

Loaded this today and I gotta say it was a pain. I looked at this a few weeks ago and sent the dims to the boss hoping someone else would get to move it. When you load a regular deck like a beam trailer. It's about 15 wide and a little less than 90k.

Of course after we get it loaded and secured. I go to drop the trailer. The retainer pin in the neck was stuck with no access to it. Ended up raising the trailer almost 2 foot off the ground so I could crawl my fat ### under the trailer in the mud to beat on the pin. What a mess.

Meeting cops tomorrow at lunch so we can move this through Pittsburgh tomorrow.

 

Back with this ugly green thing

 

Pulling this 120k metal shear to Mississippi. I did get the truck washed before heading out.
