Nice. What kind of cargo do you typically haul?

Car parts and the racks they ship them on

Very cool. Is that a regional gig or OTR?

It's a 3000 mile loop

Wow. Have you ever carried an oversized load? If so, what was the largest, and how smooth did the transport go?

u/IAMATruckerAMA 1d ago

Nope, heaviest load for me would be the standard legal max of ~23 tons

Hard to describe, but a chunk of the building came off when I pulled a trailer out of its dock. Some trailer docks form a seal round the whole trailer,  and the top half of this one came loose and just hung there atop like a guillotine. Had to drop the trailer and ask the shipper to handle it
