Well, the behemoth passed by our town
Permalink  
 


30 feet wide by 325 long

 

It takes up over two normal lanes

of traffic, and is longer than a

football field.

 

It can only travel 1-5 miles per 

hour, and has major difficulty on

hills.  With two semis pulling it

in front, and one pushing it from

behind, it is a major headache

for traffic trying to get around it.

 

It is the base for a new generator

at a local power plant.  It has

taken six days to travel what I

could do in under an hour.

 

36 axles - each with 8 tires.  So

far they've had to replace over

100 of the tires, for under 100

miles.  The transport company

is the same one that moved

Challenger and Endeavor.
