Its a a twin stick MACK with a window in the back! Them were the days!

 

At lease you have a shower and a kitchen for the weekend. But not too far from the house. Won't Stacy bring the pup and meet you?

 

well, picked up a pump today in Portland, OR. dispatch told me 6k lbs, no tarp...get there and its 16k lbs and full tarp..lol oh well, it was fairly easy since the pump is mounted on a skid and has a crate built around it...

 

She's got both kids this weekend. Otherwise, she'd have been here by now.

 

On my way to Laredo with pipes from Crossett, AR. These things have been making me so mad. My straps keep Coming loose and flapping around every 50 miles. Drive 400 miles yesterday and had to stop literally every 40-60 miles, sometimes less, to tighten my straps.

I finally stop last night after only going 17 miles since I tightened my straps and see them flapping that get up on top of them with a flashlight and notice something different.

Looked at the picture I took and noticed the pipe on top, on the drivers side has moved about a foot. It hasn't rolled, but slid a foot toward the center of my trailer.

Here's the pic I took when loaded, the pipe on top on the drivers side is now close to the middle of my trailer. Ill take a pick and show the difference. Gonna belly wrap it with two straps and pull it toward the edge of the trailer just to keep tension on it. Hopefully it'll stop moving around

 

Is it possible to put a couple if straps from the drivers side rub rail up over the top pipe and then fish it back down to the drivers side rail .....?

Kinda holding that top pipe over there..... ??

 

Did they put chocks on the inboard side on the dunnage that its sitting on? if so, they may have come loose, and if not, thats probably why it did. try to find some spare wood and nails, and nail some chocks down to keep it from sliding over...stuff like that can be a PITA.

Hard to see but it moved quite a bit

 

That's what I did to fix it, it's working perfectly for the last 200 miles
