Its the easyst and most practical way to move an Off Highway Logging Truck by barge from town to camp or from one camp to another camp , and take along some spare tires .
And oh soooooo much fun to load them.
Forget where the valve stem is and the tireman can get a touch snippy with you.
Unless of course you do tires as part of you job, then you can curse yourself out.
Did I ever say how much I hate repairing tires.

They all run and get a little exercise around the field from time to time.. 207 was the truck Jim falconer had that he would take to the truck shows. 209 had to have an engine change due to an internal problem.. All good now

Is there a specific issue with the valve stems when loading/loaded on a barge?

Asking for the ignorant few like myself
When you drop spare tires over and down upright stake , care must be taken that valve stem on inside of steel tire rim is not "sheered off " . If that happens tire must be taken off rim to replace valve stem on tube .

Fun to see the trees are growing each time when I visit Port McNeill. First time I Saw her was way back in 2000 - beside her was another HDX but it has gone now... one of the vans I rented in the background5515164A-6761-4F99-9EE9-5EF3A3A7B395.jpegEB3F5F53-4BDC-488F-AABD-2B828E611190.jpeg1A6242BE-E14A-45F4-AA2A-49AB95EB0834.jpeg7BB8B88E-5767-4D55-AF6B-68C8D6A5C173.jpeg
