    I’m either a nerd or an old man (or soul) when it comes to series and movies; all I can come up with is:
    Series - Band of Brothers, The Pacific, Hell on Wheels, Turn (Washington’s Spies), freakin Merlin hehehe, Breaking Bad, etc
    Movies - Windtalkers, Open Range, (almost any Clint Eastwood movie such as A Fistful of Dollars), The Hunt for Red October, The Untouchables, The Great Escape, etc

    Apparently they 'load em this way all the time". Idiots

    I'm thinking a tarp job would of be quicker.!
    Not on this load per say.

    Basically I manhandled what I could. Looks a little better. Maybe.. :rolleyes:

    They quoted 20k lb. Feels about right. Trailer scale showing 22k. Steer is always ~10k. Don't have a psi gauge on my drive yet, but if the load weight is right, should leave ~15k for 47k gross.. No coops on the way so not overly concerned about it.. :cool:

    LoL. Yes!! 2 forklifts at the same time!! :eek: Ray Charles & Helen Keller tag team'n my wagon..

    Well, it ain't pretty, but this is what I did with it..

    I contemplated driving off. Sad part is, this was with them "fixing" it. Done alright so far. 50mile load check only got a click or 2 on each winch.

    I probably shouldn't have took it, but the money is good..
