Low Loader With 'Jeep Dolly'

[Tim_w]

Hello  Gordon 

Yes i think it is a very good cause to have a Police escort on this particular road  . Who know's what might happen, a few years back a goat ran in front of a truck and caused a very nasty pile up   

Hello  David 

Thank you for your kind reply, i really appreciate your feedback. I cannot imagine the chaos that was caused when those trucks had to go back all that way !! I would imagine that the haulage company in question picked up a hefty fine and the bill for the Police assistance.

We call large trailers with heavy loads slug catchers, they travel that slowly, that only slugs get squashed under their wheels

 Heavy loads can cause all kinds of problems, we had one on the A180 a long time ago now when the driver realized he wasn't going to fit under a bridge. So somebody I know had to go out let the tyres down on the truck and trailer just enough to let the load pass under the bridge, then re-inflate them all the other side.

 There was over 30 tyres on it, it took half a day.

If only you could see the image that popped into my head when i read this Garry hehehe

I bet that incident with the trailer and the bridge caused some disruption. I can only imagine how frustrating it would be letting down and then inflating 30 truck tyre's. I have found it frustrating enough doing 4 car tyres
