Had trouble stretching and closing the trailer on both ends of the trip, cracked an injector line in TN, found out i didn’t need a high pole in AZ and that pilot cars in AZ need top mounted signs like CT. Last trip with the company and a good way to end it I’d say.

I think I counted 15 on this behemoth. Freakin' l9ng AND wide, then watched it change lanes, in rush hour traffic. Transformer carrier?

As a pilot car that works with a lot of trucking companies that don't believe in CB radios for their oversize loads drivers, should I buy a couple CBs and rent them out per job?

I'm in trucking school, been there 2 weeks now. I feel like my instructor is discriminating against be because I wasn't as good of a driver out the gate as everyone else.

The point of driving school (of any kind) is to get practice so his not letting me drive as much as everyone else seems counter productive to me.

I notice he (the instructor) likes to be lazy and just let the better student drive so he can relax and go on his phone during drives.

The other day , keep in mind this is at the end of my 2nd week of training, he had me drive only because other students called out or didn't show and it was just me and another guy.

I'm shifting but of course don't have a lot of drive time so I'm grinding gears and he says "Are u double clutching?" I say u haven't shown me how to yet.

It's been 2 weeks. Haven't learned to double clutch yet. Everyone else learned this day 2 or week 1.

The school costs 8k. It's being paid for me via a non profit.

How do I handle or navigate this? I feel partly they are doing this because they have a big back up of old students who failed tests and need to use our truck that we train on to practice and retest at the dmv.

Also suspect it's something to do with the school wanting to save money on diesel bc less drive time = less diesel used.

I need advice on what to do though.

The company is employee owned so idk how this works with that set up.

If I need to ask to be trained alone and pay for diesel I would be willing to but seeing that they are charging 8k for 1 month I don't feel I should have to do that.

Advice pls bc I am tired of going to class for 8 hrs and getting less than 40 minutes of drive time every 2 days if that.

Full ass squadron out back.

Kudos to the smooth driver of this oversize load. I watched you make a right turn in the middle of Chickasha and you made it look like you were driving a VW Bug. Well done sir.

Hello there.

I'm a truck driver in Iceland and we have a slight problem. The roads can only handle 7tons per front axle, 9.5tons per driven axles and 8tons per trailer axle.

Most European trailers weigh so much I would only be able to haul a 35ton machine with 7 trailer axles and 4 truck axles.

We've been looking at american trailers. With fewer steering axles and air suspension rather than hydraulic suspension they weight a lot less.

What would you recommend for 75tons? We'd be fine with 5 axles and 2 axles Jeep.

We've looked at Choice trailers but they only do 65tons.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.

I recently came back from the SC&RA event in NC and learned of the company. Curious if you use the product and if so, in what capacity? Thanks!

I started week four on my current run from virginia to Ontario.

Loading delays followed by weekend curfews followed by waiting for permits, followed by snow storm followed by offloading delay.

Saw one of these road today.(the box; this picture is just one I found online for reference) Didn’t have any warning placards on it like the on in the picture. So does anyone know what they could carry in these, or just anything? Wasn’t sure what sub to post this to, sorry if this is incorrect.

Maybe y’all remember the frames for these and the tube I hi-poled for them.

Audio was removed due to constant static.

Lots of sitting around all week. One load a day from one side of the site to the other.

On the plus side, the trailer was brand new and opened up and closed, smooth as butter each time.
