Drove to Decatur, IL to the Caterpillar plant. Had to "put together" my trailer. Lot of work involved with that!! I was very fortunate that a friend of mine came over to help me. He does this all the time and knows a whole lot more about it than I do. His help was greatly appreciated.
Loaded a Caterpillar 789D Dump Truck Chassis that is going to the port in Savannah, Georgia.
This is an internet photo of what it looks like all put together.
I got there to load at 7 am. Didn't leave there until 1:15 pm. I am over 154,000 pounds and over 115 feet long. Largest load I have had so far. With my pilot car escort in behind me we left, but didn't get very far. Stopped for the night at the Petro truck stop in Effingham, Illinois. Been a busy day. I am totally exhausted. It was all I could do to get a shower and eat dinner. Going to sleep now. Good night!!
