Nope, delivered in Ayr, On and pointed the big horse for the shop
Possibly heading to North Carolina Wednesday once I get some hours to run

Well, not quite as adventurous as the last trip west, but fun just the same.

Must be a PITA to track those hours and decide when it's time to bolt for home.

Anyone want anything from Texas? 73’ long trailer, 74’ of steel, we about 95-96’ long nose to tail

Actually @Brent H if I reload in Houston I’ll try to grab your packages next week. I’ll let you know if I do

 

[YYCHM]

Holy Smokes Is that one trailer or two?

 

[Chicken lights]

One trailer

 

[YYCHM]

I'd be thinking twice about attempting to pass you in my Fiesta

Where in Texas are you headed?

Do you have to have signage for a load that long?

Craig in Oakville

Yep! Banners front and rear, flags, permits, whole schmear. Ontario no beacons, Michigan beacons on the truck and rear of trailer plus escort, Indiana no escort it’s all different by state. Daytime running hours only
Lots of extra rules

Who supplies the escort?

Who supplies the escort?

Usually a private company, some heavy haul places have their own guys full time

 

[YYCHM]

Thinking about the escort thing now, do you guys still use CB radios or have those things faded into the past?

Depends on the area. We still use CB over here, VHF/UFH is more popular out west

Most truckers still use CB, but it’s not as well used as yesteryear

Hey @YYCHobbyMachinist
That’s my Michigan routing for today. Ignore my bad scribbles I just write out the turns so I can read them quick while driving

 

[historicalarms]

I didn't notice your trailer was a Trombone....or did you pin to someone else's . Used to be that "divisible loads such as yours weren't permit able for O.D. If they could be split to two trailers without a cutting torch involved then they had to be separated.

 

[Chicken lights]

I don’t own any trailers, that’s all company trailers.
I’ve heard that whole no divisable load rule for oversize before yet pretty much all the oversize loads I’ve pulled are divisable in some way.

Taking this junk to Eagle Pass, right on the border

 

[YYCHM]

Where did you pick the load up from?

 

[Chicken lights]

Near Guelph, On

Rear mounted beacons
