    Side loaded and too lazy to spin it on around. I guarantee he wasn’t going far and said it wasn’t worth the time.

    Man needs to get a drop rail.

    I’ve read on here he can get by with less securement that way.


    Maybe if the state of Tennessee took every dollar from this man’s surely thousand dollar fine and put it towards the pay in the states permit department I wouldn’t have to wait 6 moons for a bloody 12’ wide 160k gross permit…. Sheeeeeeit.

    One day back when I was doing lowboy work, I showed up at a place with a 953. Due to the nature of the customer’s location they wanted me to unload it off the side. That didn’t sit well with me so I called the boss who like I predicted said “Absolutely not. We don’t unload off the side. I like to keep the trailers longer than they last when you do that”.

    I told him I figured that, but just thought I’d ask.

    I’ve done it a couple of times, but I really ain’t a fan of it. It’s hard on the outer rails especially if the operator is a bull in the china shop kind. Smaller machines I’m more ok with, but you get a 360 or 336 and larger that’s a lot of strain

    It also gets a little ticklish with that wide of gauge getting it lined up. I have done it with our 320D once. Before I had a wetline to run the neck and the Honda crapped out. It was no big deal with that machine, but I don't care to do it again.
