    Beautiful pic @HCent, almost makes me miss Canada, key word almost. If I was in Canada,I wouldn't be at the Hilton like I am here in Dallas after taking in a hockey game last night.

    If I was in Canada, my seat would have costed $500 and I'd be staying in a roach motel except Canada doesn't have roach motels because its too cold in Canada for roaches.

    Well here are 2 pictures of the crane I hauled from KS to Las Vegas this week....one ok and one bad one on my trailer.

    The guy unloading it today will never forget it, that is for sure!

    He got to the break over point and dumped it off the curb side. No one hurt it or damage, unless you count his shorts. 55 tons or so makes a lot of noise

    Did they have the tracks sucked in?

    Yes they did. It hauled great overall. The problem was the flat steel trackpads on my steel ramps and then stopping at the transition. If the operator had just continued back, no issues.

    Here is one that passed me in the wind farm that I do not have enough trailer to haul

    Not really a big load, or even a big truck actually, but My wife felt otherwise! Especially when I dragged it into the living room..

    She's adjusting to it, It's all relative, I guess.. I thought it fit well, Little uneven and sparse but I like it, reminds me of the trees my grandfather used to cut down off our sidehill...

    Merry Christmas Everyone and Hope All is well.. Have Fun.. and Thank You for sharing.

    Look at those beams and all that wood! All thats missing is an elephant axe on the wall for decoration, and animal hides on the floor in front of the porcelain throne.

    Manly!

    Been moving these compressors & gas turbines around Houston, TX this week. Simple loads, 52-58,000 lbs, 10-1/2 to 12' wide, 13-1/2 to 15-1/2' tall, 20-24' long, all crated so no tarping.

    With the holidays the traffic has been fairly light too.
