Big Loads - Post Photos Number 2

It looks like you are progressing quickly!

 

You will pick up on it quick. It won't take long to learn it's quirks and once you've set it up just a few times it becomes automatic. And you'll quickly learn what it's capable of and such

 

Man some guys will do anything so they don’t have to back into a spot at the truckstop!

 

Yes I realize I've been off for a while but there's good reason for that. I took about a two-week vacation and then hit the ground running harder than I thought possible.

Let's just say things accelerated quickly.

My primary rig is now a 7. But I'm also now the goffer for the big boys.

Ignore the wife doing my job for me as usual.

I've taken that to the extreme. I think I have found a really great excuse for forgetting how to backup.

 

im quite happy with this setup — the truck is like riding on a bag of bricks —but I don’t have the interest for a 2-2-2 and beyond, honestly. I don’t think the coin is there for it.

Easy to setup and dissemble. It’s the loading that gets me. Well is a bit longer and I can’t move the pin. The trailer is set. If I mess up on the weights I move the machine. Easy on a deck. Another hour involved on the beam.

I only go in reverse for Jesus.

 

Took a week off and flew home since the customer was behind schedule on loads and I was bored of sitting in Houston waiting. Got home and was asked to do a load since nobody else likes doing big stuff. I like money so I said sure.

Since my truck/trailer are down south still I stole the local guy's truck for the weekend and borrowed a trailer.

Spent most of Saturday loading this 126,000lb generator rotor and then delivered is the same day in Milwaukee. This trailer is the best thing I've ever pulled.

194K gross

 

Unloading a building in Michigan for a electrical substation.

 

Swapped the trailer around so I can back up. But now I can’t turn worth a ####. :/


Loaded for the house. But I got Atlanta and Chattanooga in my way. I got a long week off coming up.

 

Does your spreader not have lock pins?

 

Maybe on his long week off he can teach his trailer this trick! That’s almost like cheating though.
