Big Loads - Post Photos Number 2

I'm puzzled. He's on the shoulder. That means he 1. was notified by the pole car 2. did not hit that bridge full steam.

So why is he wedged under the bridge?

 

Is he wedged or is the the tallest point in the bridge for him to squeeze under?

 

Yup, world's largest single mineral hot spring; pretty sulphury but feels #### good.

 

That was one of my thoughts/ questions?

 

Drove through there several times on harvest. I can't believe people would pay to sit in that stench!

 

I don't know. I'm not part of that twisted trucker thing. If he's not wedged underneath the bridge, what's the point of posting it? I'd wager that we all have had a shoehorn job underneath an overpass before. I don't think I've ever been on a "name the carrier" thread.

 

We were hauling box culverts from Billings to Williston. We were 16' tall and one bridge we had to go under was supposed to be 16'2". I let the other guys go first and told them if I saw concrete dust I was gonna stop before the bridge. There was no off ramp for this bridge either.... LOL

Turned out only one side of the bridge was 16'2" and we had plenty of clearance. The only reason we had them standing up was we would have been 13'6" wide if we laid them down and would have had to have pilot cars or detour another 85 miles through north Dakota.

It is also funny how you instinctively duck even though you know you have room.

 

Nothing to big for me this week. Stacked 10 axle out to Calgary for a coworker.


One of our steering dolleys from Calgary up to Edmonton.

I agree on the smooth drum with a slick deck. You have to keep a good amount of speed to get on, and then have no idea if it is going to stay there when you try to stop.

 

Pretty much! Had to build a ramp to get it on and hit it at full speed because I couldn't find a throttle or anything on it. She got pretty sideways coming on.
