    So to continue this. A day after I brought another big load down this way. We got off the ramp on 71 and was sitting at the light waiting to make the right. There’s a local cop sitting in the median watching traffic. My front escort turns right and the cop pulls out and follows him. I then pull out and follow my lead escort. The cop lights him up, one pulls In behind me and another joins the one in front. I’m 15 ft wide with this load on 11 axles so we are messing traffic up. Cop is giving us the third degree about where we’ve been in the last 24 hours. (I didn’t know anything about that other situation yet.) They were unhappy about how much that truck messed up the railroad crossing and that it had in road closed for five hours. Once they showed me a picture I knew who it was but I said nothing. Just pointed out all the differences between my truck and the one they were claiming to be me. They got butt hurt and just left (all three of them). They left us with the crap traffic situation and we still had to fight our way thru their town. There was a second load sitting on the ramp waiting for me to get thru town. I did then call the office to find out they knew all about it and was working on the details.

    I saw the BS on Facebook and immediately opened my texts to compare it to your truck. Saw the sleeper size difference and knew it wasn't you at least.

    that's the problem there's too many people I know that communicate through Messenger and stuff, maybe one of these days I'll learn my lesson and not look at the stuff on there at least.

    Then again the most important of us track each other on Life 360. And just bloody call.


    But yeah if you get into any of them bloody groups on there I ain't never seen that much drama on daytime TV.

    Here’s a large mill roll I’m taking to Kentucky. It’s a big boy at 134000 pounds. I’ll be the one going stupid slow around every curve. 7C4EFDC4-B49D-4BEA-A43B-20501E7205F3.jpeg C6310FBA-224B-44D1-8C05-95F684127321.jpeg

    Very nice sir. I won't be complaining anymore about how much it cost to put tires on my rig, after seeing that setup :D

    not much to see here but still pushing 80k from the stack of steel plates under the bucket and I have the wells full of chain….idk what they’re gonna do with about a million feet of 3/8 chain…I tried to help them get rid of it but apparently they have something in mind IMG_5191.jpeg
    And they were kind enough to leave #### all over the platform but I guess they don’t mind paying 130/ hour to have it cleaned IMG_5190.jpeg
    Ok can someone please give me some tips on securing this roller because apparently I am not supposed to do it this way unless the frame is sitting on blocks and that sounds like a serious pita.

    Unless there is some regulation, I think about the only thing I would have done different is put more of depth on that 'V' pull, over exaggerating it...perhaps doing two chains per location essentially immobilizing the rollers with a 'V' and 'A' pull....using the rings of course in addition to the deck edge. :)
