other dog Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I had an important mission today- I was supposed to meet a guy from Appomattox at the truck stop in Candor, N.C. in the morning, and he was going to ride with me to Bennetsville, S.C. to pick up a bulldozer on the detachable gooseneck trailer. His brother was bringing the dozer up from Walterboro,S.C. with his truck, and he was going to unload it and load on my trailer in Bennetsville. Jeff said it was an old IH and it weighed about 35,000lbs.I went to the shop this morning, fueled up, hooked to the trailer, made sure the engine had gas in it and everything worked, put a marker light on it, got my permits, then came home. I was supposed to meet him around 9:30 in the morning, so I was going to leave around 6am. Good paying load too. Then Jeff called a little while ago and said the guy had called him and said his brother's truck broke down, so he wouldn't be able to make the trip tomorrow, so now I won't get to make the trip either. Never hauled a dozer before. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

other dog Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 I was supposed to go to Petersburg and get a load of beams going to San Antonio, Tx. Friday, but after sitting at the jobsite in Clarksburg, Md. until after 5 o'clock I missed out on that load too. Probably get a load of pipes or something tomorrow.

Vladislav Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Don't worry about that Tom.Some day at some point some dozer sure will be yours.I too wish it will be on your trailer, not elsewhere Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Green Dash Posted February 3, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 3, 2016 Could you at least Photo-chop a pic of you pulling the dozer? The rest of us shouldn't have to suffer because you didn't get the load. 5 Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post other dog Posted February 5, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 5, 2016 Wow, that's a lot of work, since I only have one picture of the RGN, none with the truck i'm driving now, and none of the dozer- but i'll give it a shot...Holy mackle, i'm impressed- came out great, eh? The untrained eye could never tell that that's not the real deal right there! 6 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

GOOG Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 A big dozer is my favorite machine to move. They fill up the trailer and look impressive. You get a lot of looks from the other people, and they're easy to load and secure and not a tall load that you need to worry about hitting a wire or bridge. Large rubber tire loaders and end dumps are the worst to move. They are very tall. Scrapers are tough to hold down. They always find a way to loosen the chains up.

Timmyb Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Where I live you can move a dozer with the blade and cabin on it. But where I grew up a dozer is called a divisible load, which means the blade would need to be removed to make it narrowed and cabin removed to reduce height. What are laws like in the U.S?
