This is an average escort load for the tractors. Its about 12ft 6in and basically looks like its going to fall apart. But this is what we haul. There is a LOT of metal banding holding all those odd pieces together.

Think these trusses were heavy? The trailer was bowed down about 8-10" in the middle.

The whole jobsite was ice so we couldn't slide the trailer tandems forward to dump. The runner broke on this set of trusses so we had to prop them up to keep the webbing of the trusses from being smashed out.

That excavator was the ONLY way I was getting into this site. He dragged me up the hill past his pigs, by his duck pond, so I could drop the trusses near his new barn. I was jealous.
