    That's not how ' limp it to a shop ' is suppose to work.

    Agreed, but you and i and most drivers here can tell you when something is just not right with the rig. A slight lack of power, pulling to one side or the other during shifts or braking, listing to one side, dog walking, all i gotta say is i hope it wasnt a open deck. If thats how they handle a bad tire/brake chamber, I'd hate to see their securment.

    I hear you. I wonder if the bright bulb that laid those tracks in the OP's picture was the same guy that dropped the Frack valve on the lease road near Orla a couple of years ago.

    That would have been an interesting conversation with the company man:

    Driver: "I'm here with your Frack Valve."

    Company Man: "Really? Where is it?"

    Driver: "Doh!"

    I dont know what company it was but some guy lost a Moffett on a big road up this way, from what i hear he loaded it but "forgot" to hook his chains.... but that means he didnt release the hydros or hook his pigtail up...
