vision386 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 My brother sent me a picture and link to a story about them moving flight 1549 from Jersey to the North Carolina air museum in Charlotte,(this is the one that crashed into the Hudson river,and no-one was seriously hurt) most Jersey guys will recognize J.Supor & Sons Trucking and rigging as the Heavy-haul carrier,some big equipment! (not many Macks sadly) but some really neat heavy-haul pictures on their website.............Mark http://www.jsupor.com/ 1 Quote Mack Truck literate. Computer illiterate.

cfesting Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 It's spending the night just up the road... on I77 North of 460 in WV. It's going through the tunnels in the AM - that should be interesting!

It's going through the tunnels in the AM - that should be interesting!Why would they go through the mountains instead of straight down I85 ?

slpwlker Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 (edited) Might be height issues that way.Also could of been a width problem. With that being on a perimeter trailer anything is possible. Routing might be easier coming down 77,Then hitting eery detour they might have the extra out of route that way may of been shorter then the out of route coming 95 to 85. I would be sure that with the height,length, And width, they probably are not seeing much interstate. Just getting done with a high load myself yesterday a 79 mile run was 165. too down 1 phone line smacked a few others. hit a road sign,and I was only 14'5" Tunnels shouldn't be a problem I forget how tall they are but last time I came thru they had a 12 wide restriction.

slpwlker Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 If you can handle being heavy and wide it is a great gig. Nights off. usually find a good spot to park in if planned well. usually 1/2 a day saturday or all day and no sundays. Depending on the state. some holidays off. And oh yeah I got stories. I think everybody doing this has a story or 10 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/19345-moving-flight-1549/#findComment-79394 Share on other sites More sharing options...
