Self loading used equipment

Wrong equipment

 

never that I have seen, unless they drop it from a crane. Had a guy slide a 100k crane off my big trailer in Vegas - even after telling him not to stop at the break over point. Shaved the top of the ramp hinge off - no compensation.

that is not the real issue - it is the customer insisting you put the trailer in a place that is not accessible without risking screwing up the trailer. Then the real discussion starts - then never want to be ‘responsible’

 

There is a local guy that has a half dozen trucks or so that hauls for us on occasion - as a matter of fact he is going to haul boulders for us tomorrow. The first year that we had our 345 I hired them to haul it from Central Idaho to a job outside of Boulder Wyoming, before I figured out that I could haul it ourselves on a single trip permit with bridge review. Anyway, his driver certainly knew that we were capable operators, but kind of sheepishly asked if we minded if he loaded it. I said by all means, chances of hurting the excavator were far less than hurting the trailer, and it wasn't my trailer.

The opposite can certainly be the case as well though. I remember watching videos of Sergei loading crap that he had no business being in. I believe that he managed alright, but it sure could have turned out way worse.

Scrapers on the other hand should be a team sport ...........eh Ron?

 

Should be, but seldom are.

 

Compactors are the devil. Even with an inch and a half of plywood this one still got the floor in a couple spots.

 

Was that @Hurst? (Anybody fairly new on TTR won't appreciate that)
