In Reply to: Re: Re: Hugh- What do you know about a IH 241 bale posted by TP from Central PA on September 06, 2003 at 18:52:32:
TP: The problem with the 5x6 bale on the truck is in placing them 2 wide your load becomes 10 feet wide. Now I know you can get overwidth sinage and permits in most jurisdictions, but the trucking industry will love you a whole lot better if you can make the load 8 feet wide and 13'6" high. 6 foot diameter also get too high on most trailers. Being involved a bit over the past 10 years in the trucking industry. I can say I hate over width loads. I think most people in the industry will say the same. None of us mind hauling an oversize load if the bucks are there. There will always be some over width loads, but I don't think the time is far off when the rules across North America are going to say, " If a commodity can be packaged 8 feet wide you will not be allowed to haul it over width." I think you will find big round bales are already being watched very closely by authorities. I have never heard of a highway accident involving them, but periodically you see bales on roadside. No one ever claimes them. I guess the hauler decides if no one saw him loose it, no point in giving it away after the fact by reclaiming the bale. The penalties for loosing items off a truck are quite high, and so they should be.

How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
