Post flatbed load photos here V2.0

29 palms to Pendleton again. Long ### day for 200 miles…

 

Well after the last few pics, I feel pretty inadequate.

WA to WA. 54k, 16' wide.



Just kidding.

 

Nicely done sir

 

That’s cute.

 

bout the 5th load on my oo brand new peterbilt

 

……we need details

 

6,500 lbs over Snoqualmie, and it paid good. Darn right it's cute.

 

About 20 years ago we put some steel up inside one of those vertical wall buildings. Somehow one of them panels fell over, I don’t remember how but it caused quite a panic. The job was at an atomic research facility and when the wall went down it sounded like a bomb going off (this was shortly after 911)
I remember the security guards carried automatic weapons and had no sense of humor. They would always wipe down the door handles and steering wheel looking for traces of gun powder and confiscate your cell phone and cb microphone while you were inside.

 

First time loading like this, I honestly thought I would be way over on my drives... Believe @D.Tibbitt and @shooter19802003 were talking about this a couple months ago...

Takes a "little" more work with having to use a few pocket/ratchets but not to bad... think from now on I'll stick with this method...

 

Nice !! That was my first thought as well when i loaded like that for the first time. How could it not be heavy on the drives or trailer axles? But it distributes it so nice. Do u think it rides better ? In my opinion, i think its a little easier on the trailer. Because u dont have all ur weight centered in 1 spot and the weight is directly over the drives or trailer axles.

Its easy with palletized stuff. Just throw half out front and half out back. Keeps the forklift guy from getting it off centered and ending up heavy on drives like they always like to do with me.
