It's good to be home.
Turns out it was a permit load, 9'10" wide, no big deal. Delivered near Green Bay Wi to a new power plant, parts to a turbine generator.
Then went to Aurora (near Chigago) and picked up a front axle for a Caterpillar 994 wheeled loader. Its almost the big of the big. This axle (diff. gears hubs and all) weighed 47000 pounds.

. Delivered that to green valley (s. of Tucson )Az. to the Cat proving grounds. What a neat place!
There was two 797 dump trucks parked there that when I stood next to the wheel / tire I was as tall as the center of the wheel. So that would make the whole thing about 12 feet tall. Put thoose on the luv
I told someone there that must be more like driving a building than a dump truck and he said yea thats about right. It has two v12 engines mounted in line as to make it a v24!!
