getting my feet wet in heavy haul

Never ran into the frost laws anywhere besides Mn I dont think, not surprising though huh?

Wisconsin does too.

 

funny thing was years ago I lived in Mi. Private lake property. The county rd. to get onto the lake property would get frost law postings every spring. So there were 4 of us drivers we had to sneak into our places.
Had one neighbor who would call the portables on us..
Thing was the lake was basicly a private rd.. So nothing they could do us..In the 5 years I lived there none of us got caught. Had the portable guys over at the house one Saturday morning for coffee after they were called out on us.

 

We pay contractors percentage. I am familiar with axle spacings...just not the various bridge requirements. I would assume we should be okay on most of the bridge laws. All of our trucks are "common" flatbed trucks, and the trailer is 48' RGN with a flip. Thanks for the advice everyone, I am sure I will have lots more questions.

 

Not a problem, Hope we can help you out and good luck with your new venture. I believe you and your drivers will make it work.
Had a nice vist Tues. afternoon in Rock Island, Found out alot more that's going on

 

up to you, you have the power.. Haha

 

Chris,
IF I buy a trailer, it will be a 40-45 ton with a flip axle and neck. Keep the weight down and be 48' for Cali if the need arrises. A very versatile setup.

Why are you not working today Martin... Daylight hours. haha

 

Well.......
I actually have a legal load out of Pa, but chasing a little loss of boost, found this after a dyno session last night here at Interstate Detroit in Altoona

No wonder I was losing a little boost huh? The is about a 1/16" ridge on number 5 injector lobe! We determined that number 5 was a bad injector, but no fault codes which was weird. Upon pulling the cover to pull number 5 injector and replace it, this is what we saw.
New camshaft coming today, back together tonight. Thank God for warranty!
