Monday, May 5, 2014

Left Carlisle, PA early this morning and was first in line at the Port of Baltimore to load this morning.  Loaded a Jaguar 970 Harvester that is going to Hutchinson, Kansas.  



It didn't have enough guts to pull itself up on the trailer so I had to give it about 3 or 4 feet of running start to get the wheels up.  That was fun!!  It bounced as it went up.  It is a bit of a pucker factor when a machine that big is bouncing when it is half on a trailer with the wheels hanging half off the sides of the trailer.  Got the front wheels up, then the same for the back wheels.  As you can see, no problem.  The next thing was that it was too high.  Had to let a lot of air out of the tires to get it down to my permitted height of 14 feet.  Again, no problem.  Got on the road and made great time!  Ran out of hours for the day so I stopped at the west bound rest area on I-70, at about mile marker 70, close to the town of Brighton, Ohio.
