IPL HBO #40-139 P16 Pacific my last off highway load on Sarita M/L and Sarita DLS

 

[075]

Whats up with the load in middle pic ? lose a fight with the loader op ? really trailer heavy, all though it looks like mostly Cedar ,some of those puppies look to be 60 feet or better

 

[camptramp]

No 075 its a clean up load , it was 2 small loads or get evey thing you can on it, a lot of it is spliced . Last load from that setting last load fot me on an off highway truck . A few moves with the off highway lowbed and I was sentenced to steady ice cream wagons .

 

[075]

You do end up with some goofy clean up loads at times . I like it best when they leave you short, and put all 41 footers on you and give you a push to get you out of the landing lol.

I use to run loader , now I shutter at some of the loads I put out before I knew better its a good thing the trucks didn't haul big loads lol.

 

[075]

My rule now is when I load, is put nothing on the truck that I would not haul myself. And if the driver finds something he dose not like about the load, I will unload it and make it the way he likes it. Pulled one dead driver out of his crushed cab and swore that I would never be the cause of an accident. He was from down your way camptramp if you ever want to know his name pm me and I will tell you.

)075 I'm pretty sure I know about it , I'll PM you with a little back ground that you'll find interesting I wasn't there and you never know what went wrong unless you were in the drivers seat ! Just for the record when I ran loader the policy was haft a log above the stakes and round it off we didn't even use cinches , but with a short boom it was hard to get the wieght forward.
