We need to rethink our chain configuration; I don't think it's up to highway capabilities. So tomorrow we'll get it down to my Uncle, hopefully.

Volvo Update Update
Stage one: complete. I got the trailer, we got the car on the trailer, and we got the car and the trailer home from my friends driveway.

I could make a joke about you having enough trouble keeping four wheels on pavement, let alone ten, but I won't.
Good luck. Just be sure to double-check everything, gremlins like to loosen chains when you turn your back.
Hey, how did you get that parked so tidily? I'm green.
Careful on the trip.
Keep wheels facing down. Check mirrors. Don't back up (oops, already broke that rule...). Slow corners. Slow everything else. Check chains after driving a ways. I am about ready to kick this pig.
Oh, and how I got it parked so tidily? Very carefully .
Actually- backing up isn't hard.
All you need to do is watch the mirrors and start (minimum) corrections right away.
Of course a long trailer and short tower makes it A LOT easier than a long truck and a short trailer.
I can put a 53' dry van or 48' flatbed trailer within 3" of where you want it, but I have to unhook a 6' long X 4'wide air compressor from a bucket truck to get it back into the barn.
There's something to add to your resume. A class A CDL. As used to studying right now, you should be able to make that 70% on the written tests, And someone has to know someone who can teach you to drive a big truck.
You'll be learning a bck-up skill and making money.
If it's got anything to do with the oil patch, all you're looking at is moving up.
Get some dirty time under your belt, and later the pushers you worked with will have your back when butting heads with management.
Sorry, didn't mean to make it a full sized post.
