Thanks David,
I saw that you were worried about me. But I did manage even though it was more than I anticipated. Thanks for your concern and that of the others too.
Alright then, now to the story of the water tank. I can't believe how many guys were worried about me. I never did get a "Wide Load" permit and decided to wing it to the property. It was closer than I thought and a straight shot to the property. I drove up Friday early to get to the tank supplier between the pick up hours towing my new 16' trailer up from Southern California. It took me a little over 4 hours to get there even going through some heavy traffic in Los Angeles. Once out of that, it was an easy drive even going over the Grapevine pass.
When I got there, there were a couple other trucks ahead of me, one was a dual trailer semi that was loading 8 of these tanks on his truck! I watched how he strapped each one down. Well, when it was my turn, the forklift driver had me pull into the loading area and then proceeded to pick up this HUGE water tank and dump it on my trailer. He just whipped that fork truck around like a toy. Once the dumped it on the trailer I had to start strapping it down.
