Went into Hanover, VA and delivered the PVC pipe.  After that drove over to McLean, VA for my next load.  McLean is a suburb of Washington DC.  I loaded at a construction site where they are building fly-overs as part of I-495.  Huge project.  I was picking up crane rigging from a HUGE crane that was used there but now being shipped back to Texas. The crane itself was already gone.  Here are a bunch of photos of them loading my truck. By the way, that is the smaller crane.

Those cables that are being loaded on the truck are as big around as my thigh.

Then we had to move to another location for the last part of the load.  To get out I had to back out along the "Jersey wall", past the white pick up truck (behind the crane) and then into the intersection where the stop light is.  Then turn right down that road.  Had to back in off that road to the next place.
Want to try it??   C'mon, I know you do!!  Go on, give it a try!!

And this is what it looks like all loaded and tied down.

Left there right at rush hour.  Just what I wanted, another trip in DC rush hour traffic!!  Took forever to get out to I-81. Needless to say, I didn't get too far tonight.  Stopped at a truck stop on I-81 in Raphine, VA.  Took a long hot shower!!  Tried something new tonight.  What do you think?
