I have hauled railroad ties, wheels, bolsters, full assembled axels and scrapped rails. This is my first set of spindles that I have ever hauled.
This is where I will post day to day of loads that I run with pics of different loads or pics of the country that I travel. Might even throw in a video of some of the weeks activites or what I capture that can be crucial to help people understand trucking a lil more better (that has not been around it). DISCLAIMER - I may hold on posting a day to a week late - If I feel the load may be in jeopardy of safety for the load or me because of posting while in transit.

I have stopped posting for awhile. So much going on - hopefully I will get back to this one day soon. On 1-28-12 : life has changed alot at home. We lost our house to a fire. No one was home when it started but we lost 3 fur-babies. My wife and I are living in a rental home till our house gets rebuilt. Bless you all and I will be back.
