Wide Load!

While I was driving back from Muskegon, Mi the other day I passed some of the neatest things you can see on the highway… Three giant semis with full “oversize load” pilot cars and the the whole shebang hauling 100 foot long vanes for a wind turbine.

Very cool…

Then, a few miles farther up the road I saw another pilot car. I got very excited to see what it was going to be! As I approached the truck I finally came to realize that this one and the one ahead of it were hauling some steel I-beams that were slightly longer than could be allowed without the rigamarole…. From the pinnacle of modern technology to some slightly weathered metal I felt I had seen that day the full spectrum of wide loads, the most interesting and the least.

This is a call going out to all drivers professional and otherwise. What’s the coolest thing you’ve seen going down the highway on the back of a truck? let me know in the comments or on the Facebook page. Pics are of course the best way to prove it!
