Would You Haul This?

I would haul anything if the price is right!!

 

Off more than 12.5k more like it. But that would have to be a Cat Scale "out of tolerance" record! Seems unlikely.
I agree along the lines of Triple Six. It's a divisible load, and I think a good scale will show you'll end up having to make it one, to get gross and axle weights "right".

 

I wouldn't care what the shipper requests.

What is he going to say if you lose that little loader or get a citation for improper securement?

 

You're good to go.

 

I'm calling BS on that. You don't post, asking if it looks ok to go with, then an hour later say you made it thru 2 states and 3 scales! WHOAREUKIDDING

BTW: Deere Specs: Deere160 Excavator

 

True enough, but many shippers know what they're doing and know as much, or more, about proper securement for their equipment as drivers do. I will often ask questions and comply with specific requests so long as it doesn't violate any laws/regulations.

The excavator is effectively cross-chained. The chains going from the inside of the near-side track to the outside of the trailer on the same side provides the same securement as going from the outside of the far-side track to the opposite side of the trailer. Better IMHO as there is less chain to deal with.
