slpwlker Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 That was at the port in Baltimore when we loaded 2 weeks ago. There was a 21 axle in front of it. KMX I think has Petes. Maybe broke down or when Was this Pic taken. No movement on Sundays and the cops stop you where you are.

slpwlker Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I can't beleive they didn't have a push truck. Probably grossing around 350 to 400k Idk unless it was hauled off with a Wrecker why it is sitting there. But Your not going to get into very many truckstops with that big bastard Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24240-if-only-they-had-used-a-mack/#findComment-111590 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Not to play Devil's Advocate, but I've seen loads like that dropped in some peculiar places while while driver's were laying over or waiting on permits.This one's a bit extreme though, probably right about the Mack thing.

slpwlker Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Usually what I've seen also is a 1 ton with a fuel tank. probably getting .3 mpg with that and need to have access. I agree seen them dropped in some of the damndest places Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24240-if-only-they-had-used-a-mack/#findComment-111609 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCR Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 That rig has been sitting there for about a week. Strange place to stop and certainly not much in the area. Maybe going to a local coal mine. I hope they weren't using 901 and 54 as a shortcut to I80!!

slpwlker Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I hope Pa didn't route them that way. I forgot my routing when I was 17' wide and 154k But it was out of Balt to 81 to exit 116 Not sure the road number up to I-80 west almost 200 miles or so. Ended up on 6 I think it was. then up almost to Ny back down to 80 Got off about the 60 something yard line there is a truck stop there and ran that to just south of the Ta then south to the Plant. 300 mile trip ended up being 650 and both times 1.5 days Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24240-if-only-they-had-used-a-mack/#findComment-111611 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCR Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 That trailer is only a few miles off of I81 exit 116. 901 west for about 7 miles then 54 west for 21 miles and you are at I80 exit 224 Danville, PA. This is a big truck route but there are several 8 to 11percent grades. Saves about 45 minutes as opposed to taking I 81 to I 80. I passed it on Monday and Saturday of this week.

Popular Post leversole Posted April 2, 2012 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2012 Although it took me three hours for my tired old compressor to pump up all them air tanks to release the brakes, I got it up the hill and dropped it off in Milton!
