Longest time for short haul

My worst was a load out of Houston to casper Wyoming. It was 22 wide 21 tall I was 119 feet long and just shy of 200 k on 12 axles. I had that load on my trailer for 98 days and most of that was getting out of Texas. I sold that trailer 3 years ago and sure do miss it. But that one was three months to go 1400 miles.

 

Yea it was horribly boring but the upside was I got paid 1200 dollars a day from the day I loaded until I delivered. That was back when oil companies didn't mind spending money the rates are nothing like that now. Permits, pilot cars, bucket trucks, and police escorts were all extra on top of that number. I've never had one since that payed that well and probly never will.

60' long 19 1/2' tall 14w "only" went 372 miles.... cost me 22 days and a buttload of grey hair

 

40 miles sitting under it 5 days...
Remind me not to stay out during winter holidays.

 

Longest I've ever sat under a short haul load is 1 day. Thank god I've not had any of these issues you guys have.

 

Relayed a load for a driver that "got sick" on the Friday before a long weekend. Went about 50 miles with it for a drop and hook, found out it was a live unload and the mill was closed till Tuesday so sat under it for 3 days. I got had......
