    They have a sprinter van that as tools and whatnot in it and a pickup escort. The guy I'm talking about had his own escort outfit, I don't recall the name on the door but he didn't work for Perkins. I'd say he falls into the category of kind of working for them full time. Told me he had been following that trailer around for the last 3 weeks straight. It reminded me of the escort thread thread about what escorts make, I bet this guy is doing really well. He was busy all day but didn't even drive his vehicle, I bet he got paid anyway.

    Well guys, a friend of mine who work there informed me the move is already having issues. Someone decided at last minute to change exit points from the shipper. Guess they bumped a car slightly and then got into the over pass on I40 around the 188 mile post. State parked them at the 182. Not sure the amount of damage. Was told he was told.. yea you know how that goes. Anyway they rubbed the top plate of the ld. Still trying to figure that out
    Not sure if permit got pulled or not
    If I hear more will update. Just kinda sad as I was in here bragging how good they are or were. Sorry M16ty I feel like I let you and your people down bragging on them

    It finally made it to Mexico. Don't know what ever became of the bridge they hit. The State hasn't fixed the bridge, still has the bent beam under it.
    The autoclave also sustained quite a bit of damage.
