    Heard that, I was just out at Nucor in crawfordsville, IN and I would love to haul that load all the time, I took out 2 coils of cored wire with a whopping 6500lb weight combined, they had me in and out in 30 minutes and there's a pilot right next door.

    Nucor is a nice place to load. I used to run out there all the time.
