Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 One million pounds? Does that include the trailer? No worries about someone stealing it when you stop for the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries about someone stealing it when you stop for the night. I don't know. If they were driving through Chicago I'd wouldn't be surprised if it was gone before morning along with all the tires.

There’s no resale value in it, can’t hide it and ask for ransom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I am writing this from memory, I might have a detail wrong. It was ‘90 or ‘89, I bicycling up Vermont rt 4 toward Killington, helluvahill. The route was Boston-Montreal-Boston, 1200 Km give or take an inch in 90 hours or less. This was the first day and I’d ridden 100+ miles already. There was no traffic. Then comes Vermont’s finest with his lights on signaling me to stay to the side of the road. No problem. Few minutes later, on comes a WIDE LOAD. It looked like a manhole cover over the downhill lane and halfway over the uphill lane and the shoulder on the other side.

Rt. 4 is just a wonderful road for a wide load. Bet he loved getting thru Woodstock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
