Post flatbed load photos here V2.0

Got load and that was all good. Then got a greenlight at Banning scale, and just as I was passing it had a blow out on the trailer. Im Im not sure if thats good luck or bad at this point.

Got 50more shades of rebar.

 

Rebar cages, load 1. Pipe stakes would have been awesome. So awesome too because i remembered and even brought them with. But no, this trailer has really tiny stake pockets. no chance. ugh.



load 2. pretty ugly, were not all the same size.



30 days in the hole
(just try saying that without sounding like the song)

 

I have hauled some nasty pre fabbed rebar loads. I picked one up a few years ago, that I bet it took me 4 hours or more to get it blocked and tied down, to where I thought it MIGHT make the trip to prudhoe. lol

 

I hate this stuff (back haul, i forgot to take pictures of the steel out, sorry)

 

It could be worse, like crushed cars, then it could be worse than that, as in crushed cars crushed with a crane and large weight dropped on them, like they used to do. man what a mess those were to haul.
You have to look at the bright side sometimes. lol

 

Pile driver hammer (hangs from a crane, drives those pieces of steel down into the ground so they can excavate). As you can see by the flags my "legal load" was hanging over both sides like 6". yeah, that would make it oversize. sorry kids. 4 miles or not.



crane mats. Ridiculously heavy. Poor zoom boom was having a heck of time with that rear pile. Oh and a picker.

Pretty slow day.

 

Trench safety stuff. Way heavy. (probably too heavy but you know DADT)



I"m like where's the dunnage this stuff is way better on dunnage? oh, we don't have any. Ummmmmmm when it got delivered it came on dunnage. Oh, we threw it away. ugh SMH

followed by a preload for someone else of fabricated rebar.

 

Inlets


Yeah, i didn't realize the one was bigger, otherwise I would have put it up front. back one like 23k, front one like 20k. It took them 2 hours and 45 minutes to get loaded.

I know, you're thinking how?
Took them an hour to actually find the pieces in the yard. (they were not where they were supposed to be), Then they had to flip them upright (they were on their side), then even though they had been made for a month, they had not been QC'd so they had to go find that guy and he had to do his stuff. Oh, the actual loading took like 15 minutes.

Then I get there (it's next to a freeway construction) guy says "yeah, just pull in the cutout of the barrier (like one lane is barrier'd off). i get there, the cut out is like 20 feet. Yeah, this isn't going to work. I get about halfway in and yeah, it's not going to work. back out and call the guy "hey, need another entrance" Super nice guys and they found one, no big deal.

2nd load, another inlet (top and bottom) to a different delivery.


Like 23k on the front one, 11k on the back.

Concrete be heavy.

 

Those are called “leads” for a diesel drop hammer. I’ve never see a set 9 foot wide, how are they hanging over?

I haul trench boxes without dunnage all the time, when you unload it just stick the forks in a couple inches lift them up and throw a piece of wood in there.

 

If you call an inlet an inlet up here nobody knows what you are talking about, they call them utilidoors up here. The first time I was sent to get some, I didn't have a clue what I was picking up. lol
