The traffic does drive you nuts the only way it kept me sane I was usually on OT on the way back to the yard.....The tight spots I liked that they would tell me you can't put that there oh yeah watch me..... I had a buddy that could back up the rear trailer to a dock with out breaking up a set of doubles now that's not easy to do all those pivot points......I loved trucken just one of them deals it in your blood as they say....

Good truck drivers that can get into a tight dock are few and far between these days ...... as far as hauling flatbed loads.... our dock is tight as hell and they are always bellyaching...... It was about a year ago a driver came in and I told him. 'I might have to move some equipment for you... '..... He said..... 'Nah son..... that's a piece of cake'..... He backed that trailer up to the dock the first try. Most all the others bitch and moan and bellyache the whole time. That guy was a real trucker!!! As far as backing doubles....... I can't back a 4 wheel wagon........ much less doubles!! That guy was a 1 in a million.

Yeah a lot of these guys that haul over the road they use to going straight and not backen up.......I had a hard enough times getting the dolly to go straight to hook up the back trailer......some of our great pieces of equipment didn't have a wheel so you could push it around by hand so it was use the front trailer or muscle it around... I really hated pulling doubles especially in the rain.....You look at your mirror and that back trailer is not where it sposed to be....

Yes it is when I went to go look at it I was just blown away by the size of that trailer they made to haul this big rock...there were pullers pushers it was the wildest thing I have ever seen...

..The rock was loaded onto a 295-foot long, 196-wheeled transporter custom-built by Emmert International. Because of the transporter's size and needs, the boulder could only be moved at night at a maximum speed of about seven miles per hour. Though the quarry is located less than 60 miles from the LACMA campus, a circuitous 106-mile route traversing 22 cities in 4 counties[3] was taken in order to avoid busier roads or overpasses that could not support the combined weight of the boulder and transporter. Numerous trees were cut down, cars towed and traffic lights temporarily removed in order to facilitate the transporter's movement. The rock itself was wrapped in high-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets and an outer layer of thick plastic before being loaded onto the transporter. The trip took 11 days
