Re: My Facetruck thread.
I always X chain equipment.
A chain thrown straight across will the unit slide side to side.
It's a tough thing to get through peoples heads though.
There was a new crusher laying on it's side at the quarry south of town for a long time. The insurance companies were in a pissing contest.
Low Boy driver just threw a chain across the tracks. When he pulled into the quarry, the trailer leaned, and off went the crusher.
Speaking of lowboys Boog, I was at the salvage pool in Conway, and there was a new lowboy sitting there with a locomotive imprint in the side.
It seems the driver was routed through Walnut ridge, and the local cop didn't like the route, and demanded the low boy cross on 412 east. Of course he high centered on the rail road tracks. Last I heard they were still trying to sort that one out.
