Oversize Load...
...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.
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!
UPDATE (from Bits & Pieces):
how long did it take you to move that
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!
the tires look to be for a 740 articulated off road dump truck. i drive one @ the dallas floodway. lynn
hi nice pictures, I drive trucks here in Norway many years ago, also heavy load,never seen just like that you show a dumper on two trucks, this may calls heavy.
