Oversize Load...

| Comments (3)
Those are some big fat tires! Please forgive the specks & spots... these pictures were taken through my car's windshield as I was driving.

...well I'll say!


Imagine my surprise when this pulled up next to me on I-65 the other day.

Talk about big fat tires...

To put it in perspective, look at the semi-truck's own tires (which are already humongous compared to the other vehicles on the road). Then look again at the super-sized tires.

An oversized load of big fat tires! Wide load... a semi tractor-trailer carrying a load of extra-wide truck tires.

So, what type of vehicle do you imagine these tires are for???

One thing's for sure... This is definitely an example of one case where the signage was dead-on accurate.

Here's another example of a seriously wide load!


UPDATE (from Andrew, a truck driver of oversize loads in Australia):
You wanted to know what those big tyres were for... Here's a pic of a Dumptruck (they have a lot of different names, this is what we call them over here). As you can see by the size of my truck parked behind it that it is rather a large machine!

That is so awesome! I have never seen anything like that. Only a couple of houses, but that is it. I wish I could have seen something like that. But two semis sharing same load, let alone semis having four axles, three daul axles, and the trailer having for daul axles. Dang!
