When i first started driving that is what i started out WAY back at the ripe old age of 17 on a B60 Mack and a 50 ton Rodger T-1 lowboy and back then the man i worked for would tell the state that hey we are moving this or that today and off we went . did that till i got drafted . Then when i came out i stayed out of the truck for a couple years then went back to it hauling anything that would fit in a dump trailer . If you wanted a pay raise then you put on taller side boards . the one guy i drove for would tell ya that he never wanted to see any bills coming across his desk less the 75000 NET After i got comfortable he came tpo me and asked if i would lighten up just a bit them 150000 lbs nets were a little much so i did as he said and lighten up a shade and kept it between 130 and 140000 . Was pulling a City Welding 32 foot box 72 inches deep , You could really get a charged on it if ya had a good loader that would reach up over it . Loading coal with a Hough 90 took a bit of creative thinking to get a nice round load and for get it when we would load where they had a W18 case . Portables could not weigh me and i stayed away from the permanent ones . Then i bought my own and did a lot of thinking on my new trailer and instead of going a tri axle i went with a heavy duty tandem built to my spec. Took a lot of the way the tri axle i was pulling and used some that in mine like the mountain brakes the big scope the neway suspension the extra heavy alum. frame extra cross members under the box added in a 2 way tail gate and only 68 inch sides . First load was 45 ton in the wagon and it did great and we will not go into the biggest load ever put in that trailer as we will just say that Chem haulers had never ever seen a load that heavy moved . Lets just say that if four trucks divided they all would have been over .

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
