Many of you will not have heard of all the large equipment loads that have been moving around the northwest part of the US in the past few years. We just had a large piece of oil production equipment move through our valley on US highway 93. It was 380 feet long, which is bigger than a football field and weighed over 450 tons. It is headed to Canada where it will process oil from the oil fields in Alberta. We were headed to Missoula when we saw the load sitting at the side of the road in Lolo. Had to stop and take a couple of pictures.
It looked to me that this truck had 3 driving axles and the 4th one in the front was like a tag-a-lon with no driving capability, just a load bearing axle.
These pictures kind of puts it in perspective as this logging truck is parked right next to the big rig.
There is a puller and a pusher truck.
The sun hitting the tops of the west side peaks this morning.
