    Get aggravating when your waiting to get fuel because 4 fuel island have become parking spots or when they do pull forward but stay for hours and other driver pulls behind you getting upset because your now blocked in the middle of two; who can’t move; stuck watching them fight. lute it be and send picture/video and message explaining what is going on - load becomes late Company charges other company for impeding the movement of commerce, est...

    I do not know what that one is, unless photo shopped. I have never seen one anywhere near that big, and wouldn't want that kind of weight hanging up there either. My ali arc (I had the heavy version) weighed 360 pounds.

    While I agree with blocking the smuck in....

    I would bet the icc bumper on the back of the trailer would move that jersey barrier quite nicely......

    After 911, if you went in the commercial gate at most bases you were likely to have to wait in line to get your truck searched, so I started dgoing in the main gates. They would chew me out, but then tell me to go on. There was a few times they had the jersey barriers placed in a way a 4 wheeler could not run, and I could not fit truck and trailer between the.
    I would just slowly get the tires on my step deck against the end of them and spin them a little to get through. lol

    I’ve moved a loaded roll off with the back bumper of a flatbed ...... just lined up square and pushed easily... moved it like 30’ straight back.

    That size is closer to 3000 lbs....I believe.
     
    stwik Thanks this.

    You can spin them hooking up on the end, if a guy squared off with one, it would probably roll over on it's side and dig in.

    I used to straighten them out all the time with the bumper on my wrecker, when trucks would hit them at the truckstop, and turning them was no big deal, but pushing the whole thing was a whole nother matter.
