Here is what I was up to last weekrainbow in Bluff,NZtug pulling ship out of portForestry machinery I had the 5 rows of eightthe trailer weighs 27 ton aloneall the axles steer from the fifth wheel so you pull the trailer as if you were bob tailing or you would over steer and wipe out everyone in the other lane.

Deck over axle here makes them much shorter but the loads are a lot higher. The big forest machine I moved last was 5 meters high! That would be difficult in the states. The job has been very interesting and scary fun too!

Popular Post mrsmackpaul Posted April 18, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2015 Well Tim I was gunna ask about the load being a lot higher off the ground and how unstable it is compared to the US style low beds but I reckon you might still be getting used to that part of the job your self I know with myself doing something completely different and but puckering it can take days for my stomach to become unknotted Paul 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39238-big-change-new-challenge/page/4/#findComment-287060 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently milking cows. Real, I believe there is a shortage every where in the world. As for your CDL it is good here you must take the written test though. Milking cows is good honest work! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39238-big-change-new-challenge/page/4/#findComment-287296 Share on other sites More sharing options...
