I'll be pulling this with a 4 axle tractor and tomorrow I'll be bringin' this monster out of Georgia going to Crashville known to some as Nashville,Tennessee. I parked this rig here last tuesday evening and I'm not lookin' forward to the Chattanooga / Nashville traffic  It's on a Georgia backroad right now and I did manage to get it here without knockin' any mailboxs down through the woods however tomorrow I'll have more right turns getting it out of here. Heads up Georgia / Tennessee if you see me please move over   |

Smokin Joe,
Think these loads are so cool, never moved one that big but have moved 14 wide ohio to la on my step deck,and a 12 wide denver to detroit. Love the challenge. When fuel got up to 5 bucks I sold my truck, but look with aaah when I see one of you guys moving these things. be careful, keep'em all on the blacktop

Oh yeah I'll have a crew with me, escort front and rear and a helper to steer the trailer with hydraulic components in the tight spots .It will be empty however its no less of a bitch to move when its empty than loaded it just goes faster and stops better  |

Oh yeah I'll have a crew with me, escort front and rear and a helper to turn the trailer with hydraulic components .It will be empty however its no less of a bitch to move when its empty than loaded it just goes faster and stops better I should have said better you than me. I would certainly wipe out more than mailboxes. I'm thinkin' street signs, fire hydrants and maybe a few innocent bystanders.  |

Good luck Joe, I'm sure you can do it !! I was gonna tell you I'd watch for you but I see you'll not be on 40. ChucknVA and I are heading to San Antonio tomorrow. We're going 40 to Little Rock then backroads to Huntsville, TX. I don't know how we'll go from there to San Antonio. Gotta pack a map before I forget !!
Again, good luck, be careful

Hey Joe, what are ya going to load on that thing? If yu were coming this way I could go in front of you and run everyone else outta the road. I drove 50 miles in the wrong lane on a two lane rd once making everyone move over for a super load!! Just watch out for gawkers, they are watching the load and not where you are going with it. be safe...........

I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music.

I'm taking it to Nashville for repair the hydraulic steer works sometime and sometimes it does'nt  The trailer is used 95 % of the time to transport large electric transformers. I wish I had you and them cool blue lights on your ride to clear the way tomorrow |
