fastline Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Trying to find a way to get connected directly with truckers. Had a bad experience with Brokers before and don't like them. We have a 85,000lb load from NV to KS. 1300 mi, overdim load, very flexible on pickup and drop (a month). Really hoping to catch someone on a backhaul or headed our way. Load is a Cat scraper. Width is 12.5ft so no need for escort in interstate. I have tried Uship before and just no good rates it seems. If there is another place to list our load for truckers, please let me know. Thanks!

yarnall Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 You could try Steve Hudson of Hudson Supply. He runs out of Brockville, Ontario, but hauls all over the US. Search Hudson Supply on the web.Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slpwlker Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Ping Sleepwalker. he runs OD loads and has his own unit. Check his scheduleNormally I would say yes but I don't have my spreader bar with me. Nv has some of the damdest weight laws. Kinda just as screwed as Az. I can get more on a triple out there then a quad. 12.5 wide that sounds bigger then an 85k machine. unless it has a coal bowl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slpwlker Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Where in Nv anyways. Bootlegging is only a crime if you get caught Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slpwlker Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Also keep in mind Ks only gives 65 on a quad and anything over 145k or so gets costly and interesting. I may know someone that is out and about . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastline Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) This is near Elko. Very near the interstate. The weight I got was from the OEM via phone call. I am going to do some more searching to verify. The newer ones were near 100K. Thanks for the replies guys. Been trying to find a machine for a year now only to hit another road block...The actual spec was 84,000 but I am adding some for fuel but maybe lost again in tire wear. Weight bias on machine was 56,300 fronts, 27,700 rears.If I read the KDOT table right, due to the oversize load, you have 73,000. Most weight is obviously strongly biased.EDIT: Nevermind, I was looking at wide axle charts. 65 it is. I think with the bias though, you could get it done. I work numbers all day and would be happy to analyze the load and make a load sheet to make it all work...AS WELL, please remember that if we got this moved in the next few weeks, we would be fine. I don't need it tomorrow. I just need some budgetary numbers to know what it might cost so I can decide whether to terminate this purchase or not. If the rate is workable, we will secure it and wait for a truck to be going by to get it. Edited July 23, 2012 by fastline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastline Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 That is a D model, this is a straight 633. Different machine. There is a 633, 633C, 633D, 633E, 633E II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dover Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I live in Elko and know of a local transport that will haul whereever. They have done some major scaper moves from somewhere in the midwest to here in the last few years. Elevation Transport is the company name, I grew up with the one of the owners/drivers, his dad is his partner. If slpwlker can't make it work you should give them a call to check price. They run some pretty large lowboys that should be able to get the job done. Quote 1962 B733 L cab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slpwlker Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Yeah I can't scale it in Nv and forget Ks without the spreader bar. Might have to load it backwards over the neck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Yeah I can't scale it in Nv and forget Ks without the spreader bar. Might have to load it backwards over the neckScaling correctly is so overrated. Especially when it's somebody else's money..........Is the spreader bar you mention what you had behind the trailer when hauling the giant winch?Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

slpwlker Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Yeah it was Rob. Few loads later it malfunctioned and I bent the coupler. Couldn't get the right weight down and didn't trust it to run it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Blaylock Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Why do you want to haul a machine that is on rubber tires when you could road it and then after the move could fill in all of us on here with the story and pictures of your adventure Randy P would probably come help drive it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad drove my pickup out to Houston brought me 4 tires and took it home. It is fixed but now we are taking the hydraulics off and making it an airbag system. Had to many problems with the original system and going to canabalize it some more.First pic load I had on when I tweaked itSecond pic is of the bend3rd more tweak right sideCylinders are all the way out and top is hitting on the swivelCrease on the bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Whole lot of cantalevering there eh? I know that crane is heavy. Where were the counterweights?Maybe with the airbag system some "give" will be able to take place. Sure would seemingly reduce instantaneous transferred stresses through the structure.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

David Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Last time I was in Guy Turner's shop they were repairing a stinger like that because a driver backed into a bank with the trailer loaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slpwlker Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Hell I left thursday went to the truck stop and scaled. Was 7k over on the trailer. went back and moved the 8k of counterweight to the back or front of the trailer reloaded and dropped the trailer for the memorial day weekend. Might of been another one I do not remember. came back tuesday and picked the trailer up set everything walked to the back to check lights and it was bent. This you can't back with on the ground it is made to be lifted the hydraulic and nitrogen system supposed to move and give and equalize out. My system has been flawed from day one.

Rob Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I remember the hydraulics but not the nitrogen system. Is this an accumulator system with the gas over the top of the hydraulic pressure to "cushion" the shock loading on components? If so, they can be troublesome to keep operational and most operators do not have the capacity for field testing.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

slpwlker Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Nitrogen tank or accumalator is underneath. Everybody loves them. I hate it and will not buy another one. Or it will already be plumbed to run of the pto and the lever will be on the back. Not convert it. but battery power will never happen again. probably will just go back to the old style shim and go less stuff to go wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
