    Well hell, I remember back in the day. . .

    I've always believed in being productive. So I used to run quads up and down I-5 in Kaliphornia. Once I got totally comfortable with the quads, (for you newbies who don't know, that is FOUR 53' trailers hooked behind your tractor,) I had them put a pintle hitch on the front of my tractor. That way, I could throw a gear in front of the tractor and put a FIFTH '53 footer on it, and push it down the highway, along with the quads I was towing. . .

    And I used to make $ 5000.00 a DAY. . . .:biggrin_25526:

    Are you trying to present that this load never existed ???

    I hauled it TWICE.

    They load you with one door closed, and a plywood "bulkhead" with two holes. One above and one below.

    They "blow" the balls in the top hole with a machine through a duct.

    At delivery, they remove through the bottom hole in much the same manner.

    Nuts to all of you! I once pulled a 100,000lb load of feathers in 5 53' trailers all held together with spit and duct tape, racing down the Cabbage at 163mph in an old Swift truck! In reverse, no less!! With both eyes closed, and one hand tied behind my back!!! Hah! Beat that! Oh yeah, back then I made $100,000/day, too. That's why I'm so independently wealthy these days!:biggrin_2559::biggrin_2559:
