well my last fling of the big ugly stuff that i hauled paid vary well and usually over 8 bucks a mile and higher.. made for nice weekly take home pays at 30 % drivers wages . Only used escorts a couple times . I enjoyed the challenge of hauling . Truly enjoyed moving tire presses , just under needing escort and only 68000 and change on the deck and only 14.4 high . Usually took three days from load to unload . Load on Tuesday morning and if i had the day light i could make it over half way there before curfew , next day drop the load at the plant and go to the truck stop for the night . Next morning untarp and back in the plant next to where the press was to be set in the line they would pick it up and i would pull out . The rigging crew would help me gather up all my junk and i would make one phone call and be headed for the next load and on to the house . I delt with one broker down close to where the presses went and she would have me a fantastic load heading back towards the house for a Monday drop. On the off week i was kept vary busy with Gradalls out of the plant and there i was able to load and go at any time i got there ,i was the only one allowed to load and go with no help . That was fantastic hauling . Most were a bit heavy but were legal size . Like i said MOST . I did move one that was not . She was 15.5 wide 15 .6 tall with 12 foot sticking out the back and 79 and change setting on the deck going to Ne. That load was a sight seeing tour , Took a full day and a halt to get thru Ohio , the next day was spent getting thru In. and the next day Il, Iowa and a half day to the mine in Ne. That load was laced with all kinds of problems First night when i pulled into a truck stop as i set the brakes the tractor protection valve let go and had to have my escort take me to a I H dealer for a new one and replace that . I got four hours of sleep , the next night i lost all the lights on the trailer and had to replace the main trailer wires from the neck to the back .The next night i had and air bag start leaking and had to replace that , next morning when i did my walk around i looked up and my disco lights were out . The only good thing was the weather was good.
