That and those funky Frost Laws put extra excitement in Ur planning.

 

And it may be on route to my Saturday night beer drinking spot.....

 

Before Ya get all excited about a Saturday night drinking spot I'd be considering where to wet my whistle tonight!

Or is Ur plan to hang with the Cows and partake in some Silver Bullets?

 

Going to check my deer cameras and feeders then head for chores. Hope I remember how to do it.

 

I'm sure U'll pick it up real quick

 

Your Kenworth is owned by someone else isn't it? I thought it was, just curious since you're using your own pickup for that.

 

Yes it is owned by someone else.

He has nothing to do with what I do other then occasionally help me find a return load and pay the fuel bill, insurance, etc.... I dispatch myself and do all of the maintenance on the truck and trailers. I have a step deck, flat and a hopper bottom for the occasional grain load.

I could have dropped the load off with the semi but I had some other things to do today. Definitely a unique situation but it works for us.

 

This took me a solid 3 hours to load. Shimming this and that and everything in between with blocks to get the lowered car on there. All secured with wood chocks nailed in up front, straps over each wheel, two straps crossed up front on what appear to be tow points, and a strap from the rear around the rear beam pulling back. Ready to give'r back to Eastern Ontario.

 

If you're going to be doing cars/trucks picking up some of these make life easier. You'll find slots in frames or control arms to hook to, or use a J hook on control arms/axles. On a car feel the slot with your hand to check for a double frame, single thin car frame can tear.

Lowered cars are a PITA

 

You're #### right about that last statement, now I have to unload the thing!

The angle of the tail on my trailer doesn't help at all, it's too steep.
