Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

The "Legal" aspects are often subject to interpretation...

During the Oakland Fire Storm where 3000 homes were lost and many people died I was helping friends move whatever we could... the situation dictated quick action and we relocated livestock, 5th wheels, stock trailers, etc...

The fire was coming and that was a foregone conclusion barring divine intervention...

I have never held a commercial driver's license and had no compunction or reservation driving well beyond my class moving 34,000 dump with a 15,000 pound trailer with tractor in tow... law enforcement was all over and said we had better take what we can because we would not be coming back..

My point is there are rules and then there is reality...

Kind of like an old timer I knew... he didn't have a license to drive anymore... so he went everywhere in his horse buggy... or that old guy that drove his Deere Mower 50 miles to see his dying brother...

I frequently drive antique cars for civic parades... often loaded with kids or dignitaries... right down main street past police check points... kids without seatbelts or car seats...

As the parade ended and we were leaving the route... the highway patrol directed the column to stop and the 5 year told him she was riding in a car without a car seat... he just smiled and said be careful

NOPE! Mid day, I think on the weekend. Jon

Well, in my legislative ridden country, you would have lost your regular licence and got a hefty fine after the act, we are a fine example of the nanny state, but is across the country.

If we are invaded by those to the North, they will stop them and fine them to death For everything.

OK, I have figured it out,,,
if you load the machine sideways,, you do not need chains to hold the machine to the trailer,,

I am disappointed they did not go down the freeway at 70MPH....

That looks like it would have been hard on the trailer.

Ah... it was only 240,000 pounds. Not too bad. :confused2:

That kinda stuff happens a lot when hired drivers don't own the equipment. I doubt that's the case here though. Make do with what you have.

And who knows what the alternatives were.

Disassemble the crawler load the blade on one trailer the ripper on another,
break down the tracks load them separately;
multiple trailers, cranes and porta powers, several men tied up for a couple of days,
or load and haul get it done.
