I'd sure like to have one of those to play in the sandbox with. James, I've got to ask you. How long did it take you to haul that from coast to coast?  Are you driving alone or with a partner?

I'd hate to have to pay the permits on that.

coast to coast 5 to6 days  more if you have a weekend in there or bad weather most states wont allow Sunday travel none will allow travel over bad roads
permits coast to coast $1200 or so plus 700-1000 gal of fuel and 1500 wages ;D ;D

James,

We had to saw an emergency order for out rigger planks to move an 80,000 lb track hoe Friday.

The trailer is a 4 axle unit and the truck is a big Mac with an air tag pusher. 

He'll need a hand full of permits to go 100 miles. :D
