I passed a rig maybe half that size once heading east towards Snoqualmie Pass.
The trailer had maybe 12 axles and was pulled by only 2 tractors. I guessed the load was an electric generator for one of the hydro plants on the Columbia.

Underpasses. How do they manage underpasses? Some are tall enough. the ones that aren't they go around, sometimes up and down the ramps, sometimes by miles. |

At least it wasn't this bad -- http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2...rth-oceanside/ "The semi was carrying 72,000 pound of tomatoes, the CHP said." This is especially funny because a lot of the conversation on the trip north this weekend was about all the trucks full of tomatoes, tomatoes on the side of the freeway, the "world's largest"* tomato processing plant, etc. *I made up the part about "world's largest", but tomato trucks seem to be going in there 24/7. |

I'm ok with sauces, sundried I actually like, but raw tomatoes are to me utterly vile. The sandwich guy in the cafeteria at work is well-trained by now not to put them on my sandwich. A fire in a bourbon barrel-house, now *that's* sad. Dave |
