Post flatbed load photos here V2.0

Here it is.

 

Oh see mine didn't work. Lol. Thanks Oscar.

 

Looks like your phone dont wanna share

 

Drywall.

 

13' 5" high.

 

Dye, what was your gross on that lumber? Must have been some pretty light stuff to stack that high!

 

Dispatcher seems to think I can tilt my bed back, pop the clutch and the 20 000 lb steel plates will just come sliding off. Luckily they pay me the big bucks for my ingenuity.

It was at the dead end of a subdivision next to a drainage ditch. They were flat plates, so I had no where to chain them to. So I wrap chains around the front, around the sides and around two old poles that were present.

So I lock my axels, put it in low and slowly pull forward. Fail it pulled the wooden post at a 45 degree and the chain came off.

Attempt 2, the steel pole has a lip at the top so the chain won't slide off


As you can guess, it pulled that out too. But dispatcher told me we were busy and to hurry up. So I decided that I'll have to use the electric pole (figured it would be strong enough but didn't want to chance it if I didn't have to.



Figured might as well let gravity help, it took every chain I had

PROGRESS BABY


Success!

Except my chains are stuck DOH

Oh yea, I still got my 5' chains



Job well done Mac! Time to go on to the next job.




Oops not so quick there son (couldn't go back as my stabilizer bars were against the ground and I would have bent them if I kept going.

So I pull back forward on top of the ravine and decide to turn around, except I only have about a foot and a half to work with. 17 pull ups and back and one I almost backed up too far off the ledge and couldn't move forward and I was turned around.

So I go to drive forward and ffs sure enough I get hung up again. I get out and look, between my drives and my stabilizer bars on the embankment, I can actually see some air between the tires. I go around to the other side and there is some tire touching. At this point, I'm not Mr go safe and easy, I get back in because I sure as hell ain't going to call dispatch and tell them they need to bring a piece of equipment to get me out.

So I get back in the truck and RAM the throttle and it came out.

End of novel (obviously at that point, I wasn't in the mood to take more pics)

 

I thought the loader was going to take one off and put it on the other side when he first put them four high (two at a time) on the first side. As soon as I saw what his plans were, I grabbed the measuring tape.

I don't know what my gross is on this one and the bills for most if not all the lumber I've ever hauled is measured in board feet, not weight. Gauges are looking good so I'm confident it's under 140,000 lbs somewhere, lol.

You're right though. Whatever it is, it's light for the volume.

 

And with the bed all the way up, and a little tap on the brake in reverse, they wouldn't slide??
