I will be the one pulling this load. Allow me to introduce myself. I am x1heavy and I am quite well known from presidents to truck drivers as the best there ever was, is, or will be. I will be towing this with a 69 model cabover and a 5 speed tranny with brand new rubber I personally put on yesterday in 10 minutes and 46 seconds. Permit me to correct a minor detail. I will be traveling at 87 mph rather than the 20 mph as stated. I cannot waste time as I have the Senator's wife waiting for a good boning of which the lovely lass has been waiting quite some time for. Alas, I can only spare 20 minutes of my time for the fallen angel as I have another load waiting on me that requires only the best. Which, of course, is me. Good day.

I know you're not X1, your reply fit on one page!

But seriously, your reply is too specialized to say "You win the interwebs, today!" But you dang sure should win whatever the TTR prize is for best post of the day!

Will that include running the entire length of I-80 in Pennsylvania in 3 hours?

If they can float that thing from Italy...... they aint worried about that little run. But with Barnhart moving this thing, I'm counting on about $200,000 per day with Barnharts fees then all the state troopers, other escorts, linemen & everything else. So, If this is even remotely in the ball park........ at 6 days...... $1.5 million.

Holy smokes, man! I need to get into moving stuff like this. Wonder how many times he's already had to go 500 or more miles around just to get around one little bridge.

Here is another one that I saw this morning of that kiln.

Definitely not our local crane company, they just roll and play catch me if you can with the permits

kemosabi49 · May 10, 2023

They are really making a big deal out of it around here. Only part that could affect me is a half mile stretch through Rosston early Sunday morning, If I end up getting a load going that way, I'll probably forget about it and end up sitting for a while. Lol. Here is a video from CDLLife.
Walk around video gives you a closer look at 300 ton Italian kiln furnace as it is prepped for trip through Arkansas

Just did a tune up on my powerstroke in the Uhaul and put an s480 with the 96 mm exhaust wheel. Kept the Pyro under 800 pulling the sisters with just under 400k gross.

I'm on standby for this job going through Arkansas, my rate is 29.95 to cover the rental. @HoundDog7 may be required to bring his Isuzu pusher since it's over 600k pounds and this stock transmission has just under 1 million on it.

Smart move with the tune up kit - I’d advise the extension mirrors just in case.

That way you can blow off a few of the unnecessary pilot cars (that’s legal in Arkansas), and probably pocket at least $12 on the haul.
