    I've only hauled empty containers luckily, so it's rare that I see a top lift loader like that. I mostly see the side lift and forklifts. I even got unloaded at a farm one time with a small crawler crane using chains to the locks. That guy since upgraded(?) to a 50 year old dually forklift.

    permitted through GA and TN for 100k from Savannah GA to Morris IL
    Kentucky refused to permit, the company tried Missouri they said best way was through KY, so they refused to permit.
    Company say “you can wait til dark and run it! We do it all the time.”
    I said no, not doing it.
    So instead of them having me take it to our Memphis tn terminal, they had me bring it back to garden city ga terminal.

    still paid me both ways, I didn’t care.
    Can’t imagine the fine 99,500 lbs plus hazmat, you know they’d add that to the ticket.

    I thought wifi chains and Bluetooth binders were illegal when running orange placards like that guy was doing.
