Have a blast with John, hug him for me. Stay out of the Gatorade!
Dang, what’s in the tanks
cool aid of course.
No, that's a much different story.
Meh.... if it was easy anyone could do it and it wouldn't be as much fun
Nice work

The certification process is now a total mess as the Feds have stepped in. Used to the individual State managed it. Anyway you have to take an academic class on crane theory etc etc then pass a written exam. After that you need to “test” on the size and type equipment you use. And your rig needs to be certified. Again each State is different to a degree so Pa. may be a bit different but that is the short version. I am only good to 100 tons. The yellow rig in pictures is a 500 ton rig. It is just super cool.
Wow!! Some very cool goings on here this morning

I should have explained, the tanks a fermentation tanks. Built overseas. Due to road constraints and overpass they drove an extra 800 miles to get here from the port. They are 14.6 wide. You can really see the width when you compare it to the width of a heavy duty semi. No way on earth I would have wanted to pull that down the highway. Back end of trailer has its own steering and pilot.

If she is running equipment thru the local operators union she can likely just ask her BA when the next crane operators class is. They are not provided very often. Typically twice a year at best. Her biggest problem will be finding a seat to test in. Being you are in the NE USA maybe the school provides the crane? Typically the Company that is sponsoring the candidate provides.
Hate to see what their per mile fee...they made some $$$$
Or what the escort fee was... I imagine county or state troopers had to be with that beast throughout its movement.
Is that crane a Grove? If so, in a former life we built the axles for those. Those were the small ones we built.
Good Morning everyone. I hope all is well out here in Coffeeland. Drizzle here, rain later I believe.
Yep a lot of states in general terms as you know, restrict the load to certain roads, times of day to travel, and bridges due to size and weight. Every state along the route signs off on it and might have their own requirements. One state along the way can pull their permit and it parks the truck and load. It's a big operation to move a load like that.
Cool... that's what I assumed.
Route surveys and assessments must be kicked off fairly early on in the planning process.
BTW. Karl is going to have a field day with that one
And I always think about Karl when I post...haha. No way around describing the process there. I'll accept my Karl fate with a smile.Cool... that's what I assumed.

Sometimes I'll just lean into the pitch to see what he comes up with
