Post flatbed load photos here V2.0

Load of plank up to Oswego, that's it I'm done for 2 weeks!

 

yesterday's steel load


60' pieces, not O/S (in colorado) crazy right. Guy who pre-loaded it did a good job

Today's steel load


guy who preloaded it did NOT do a good job. Took me an hour (at 4:30am) to fix it. 65' pieces (which is O/S).

looks simple enough right? here' one example, there were others. And this is after i fixed it

you might have to blow the picture up but look at the I-beam that is standing up right basically directly above the "228"
Multiple bundles like that.

 

And thats why im not a fan of mixed steel loads. Always something thats trying to avoid being tied down. Got several of those from PDM in vegas.

 

fabricated steel. Not a bad load (for fabricated steel). No idea why they loaded it so far back (literally no overhang up front). barely made axle weight on the tail.

 

I've been away a while. This was my first wheeled vehicle load last winter.

 

It finally happened.

I actually got to move a piece of equipment for this company. (all i did was move equipment for the first 5 years of my career (not here)).



The funny part is when I get to to the repair shop they say "yeah, go ahead and take it off the trailer"

Um, WTF do i know about driving a zoom boom?

Took me like 5 minutes to figure out the parking brake, but then I got the zoom boom off.

 

Picked this up yesterday in Chicago. Steel fiber on pallets. Going to near the Bay Area. Had a RV Chassis before that. Was rolling nicely, and then of course Wyoming happened as it does. It wasnt actually that hard to slip into the dock, but id be lying if i said there was alot of room.

 

what the heck is steel fiber?
