Well if you happen to break a leaf spring on your front axle and you are friends with my boss, I get to spend all day driving through this to bring you another truck and pick up the broken one. BTW we chained the front axle so it would not move and drove it onto the trailer.
Makes me thankful for the green grass, here in SC...
Great picture!
Stay safe
Loaded this today for delivery tomorrow. 19 sticks of 18" pipe, 25 pieces of 12" pipe and a mold for 60" pipe.
When you haul different sized pipe you have to make sure that the cable you run from front to back actually touches all the pipe. Hence the chain across the cable to pull it down.
Here's a chiller from Colorado to a suburb of KCK, unload in the morning when the crane gets here.

No driving in Russia for me! I've seen too many of their dashcam videos!
Most recent load is more structural steel, this time from Missouri to a job site in Texas. I was going to wash my truck this weekend, but there's no point now that I know it'll probably just get muddy again Monday morning.
