    You could say that.

    I had one for Baltimore city, but there’s about a 1/4 mile or so from the exit of the Marine terminal to the city line, and that’s what they got me on.

    There ya go, no load insurance, over weight, over size, over height, over length permit, no weigh stations, just free and... not too easy. Wonder how many trucks it would take to move all that today.

    Not a flat but still my shame! 10 ton trailer, 19K excavator and my 3500 HD. 15 miles from the rental place. Our 4700 W/S was having clutch issues and there was work to be done!
    I did use 6 chains for securement atleast! :D

    Nope, stick piston, and turning around and putting the blade to the rear placed to much weight on the drives. ;)
     
    Feedman and Kyle G. Thank this.

    19k machine on a 20k trailer? Maybe a little overloaded (Minus the weight of the trailer probably around 5-6k for that size) so yeah, around 5k overloaded. I think those chevs 3500s got about 20k capacity bumper pull load, (I could be very wrong) so yeah around 5k overloaded there too. If the ground between there and the rental place is flat, you're fine (as long as there are no weigh stations as well ;)) I hope that rental place gave you a good rent deal on that cheap Chinese knockoff trackhoe!;):)
