Looking at an RGN

I had one I seemed to move on a regular basis from the landfill in Lompoc, CA. I personally took the A/C unit off the top of the cab (4 bolts) just to get to around 15-3.
I winched on a dead 826 that had caught fire, with the 72 in my avatar. The dealer came out and pulled the axles so it would roll. What a nightmare.

 

This why you are my hero - and my skills will never come close. I have no winch or desire ... the 836 was over 120k with the drums on and on my beam would have been 14-8 or maybe 14-10 if I could have gotten it blocked up high enough. With a new 988 (without the supercounter weight) I have to load it with the rear over the transition. This makes me around 14 8 or so.

Saying that - the Stepdeck loaf I have on now is a dream to load - inside a building and loaded with overhead cranes! No blocks of ignorance

 

Never see this kind of thing around here




First you never see a scrapper, and the double jeeps.....

 

what are those grey/concrete colored blocks on the top of the first jeep. Over the top of the tractor's 5th wheel

 

Ballast, for traction.

 

Which seems like maybe one jeep would have sufficed. Must have been permit constraints?

 

Could be, I’m not familiar enough with 8 tire states to know.

 

Pressure that is a premay truck up in Alberta - and depends on the time of year - could be road ban time. They get stupid big weight on those groups up there.

 

No idea.

 

They have been moving 57s on triple 16 booster types in CA for quite a while. From what I used to hear, they were so close on the weights, that on a steerable, they couldn't make weight. Not sure how heavy the newer ones are but I think the D&Es were 85-87 tons. Put you right close to 249,725 gross with a tractor with a 23K steer. I am no authority as I have never hauled one. I think a pusher would be in order...…...
