Wednesday, July 5, 2017

Went in to Chicago first thing this morning to load a Liebherr HS855 Crane.  Started off OK, but it went down hill from there.  Put the crane on the trailer but when it came time to take off  the tracks, they didn't have the correct crane rigging.  Had to wait for that to get there.  Then a bunch of bolts would not come off so they had to cut them off with a torch.  I finally got it all loaded and secured and out of there at 3:30 this afternoon.  Needless to say, I didn't get very far.  Stopped for the night at a convenience store with a few  truck parking places in Boswell, Indiana.

This thing is VERY top heavy and heavy.  Have not passed a scale so I have no idea how heavy I am.  Will do that tomorrow.
