Default Lookie What Showed Up at Work Today...
Canadian Military truck, Navistar, 395 XZL singles, BIG. Trucking company called asking if we had equipment to help the driver lose the third axle on the trailer so he could drive at night. He was only 75,000lbs. We pulled it and put it over the 5th wheel pin on the upper trailer deck. Yeah...I got several emails and text messages, "Is that your truck?" "Did you get a new truck?" LOL!

Good looking truck. I'm surprised though that they elected to only use one chain across the back rather than 2 crossed chains.

When I saw the picture I thought the same thing...there should be a separate chain on each corner
