Big Loads - Post Photos

i remember those days....drove for an ol boy out of OK and hauled tractors for him...also when we drove for a fleet owner at Sammons.....have pics...but no scanner

 

Where in TX do you work?

 

I'm out in the Midland/Odessa area. I'm still hauling equipment, switched from green stuff to yellow stuff though and got a better looking Pete as well as a 2012 Talbert detachable neck.

 

do you remember what your drive axle weignt was with the scraper? I run as a 6 axle and am curious if I could scale the scraper with mime setup

 

Here are a few pics of a load I did a couple years ago in florida with gator transport. There were 16 loads in total moved over the longest 6 weeks ever. The grey part in the middle is a bridge beam that was 150 ft. long by itself. The length overall was 410 ft. and I don't remember the exact weight but I believe it was grossing just shy of 700,000 lbs.

how fast do you travel with a load like that? is it a crawl all the way?

 

WOW!!!!!!! thanks for sharing

 

Thats a BIG TRUCK!!!
Thanks for the pics 23contender

 

Hey Mattchu we moved faster than crawl speed. That setup is made for highways speeds the problem is getting a long enough straight shot to get get any speed. For the most part top end was about 40. Also it didn't hurt that it was in Florida which is nice and flat. Basically over the course of all the moves it took us two to three nights to move them 150 miles.

 

Ok, thanks. Faster than I though something like that could travel at.
