As soon as my 10 hours was up I left. Drove straight through to Bellevue, Iowa. When I got there they told me that it was a Caterpillar 730 dump truck that had been stretched 12 feet and modified a bit. Well, all kinds of alarms went off in my head. I know how a 730 fits on my trailer and an extra 12 feet just wouldn't do well back there. So, before I disassembled too much of my trailer, I had him bring the machine around and park it next to my trailer.
Just as I suspected, It didn't fit. It was 6 feet too long. Not even Vaseline and KY Jelly would squeeze it onto my trailer. After a few phone calls, I ended up leaving it there. I drove down to the world famous Iowa 80 Truck Stop in Walcott, Iowa for the night.
