    Probably my last pic on this thread for a while since I’ll be unloading these Monday and dropping the trailer. Unless they have some outbound stuff going west, otherwise I want my van back.

    Just a minor blowout. Nothing to see here :eek:

    Was going under a bridge and heard a BAM as I went under. I know I’m just under 13’. But my heart sank. It definitely sounded like I hit bridge

    I can’t even pull it out f the trailer. It went through A hole straight through o_Oo_O

    The air bag survived thank god. So they just replaced that tire. Both were retreads :rolleyes:

    Got tire repaired. Out of o/d banners, so I got light working in place. Limped to a loves, got new banner and flag. They couldn’t/wouldn’t touch it so I Limped to the nearest place that can repair it. Nobody will do it roadside.

    ‘Still a chance to deliver Monday. Only 4 hours away anyway. 1 more scale in MN. But F that. I got lucky getting parked like this safely without hassle. I’m not pushing my luck :)

    They’re not sure they can bend it out. If it doesn’t come all the way, it will be hitting tires. May have to reload here on another trailer and deck this one. Jeez

    Part of me wants to use the excavator with a chain and pull it. Don’t even have to move it. Just unchain arm LOL.

    But a wise old hand reminded me. We have to heat it up first, or the aluminum will break when bending it
