07 cummins pulls stuck semi
Come on man, if you work pipeline you must know there are different wall thicknesses of pipe....
On this job the main line was .420 wall, with the heavy wall pipe getting up to .825 wall, and different thicknesses in the .5-.6 range. .825 wall pipe weighs about 360lbs a foot, meaning A single 80' stick of .825 pipe weights about 29k lbs, you can only haul one piece at a time or you are over legal weight (80k gross). I'm sure you already know all this
I took the picture about 4 years ago so I don't recall the exact wall thickness, but it wasn't the main line .420 wall because we could haul three pieces and still gross out at just under 80k.
Who do you work for?

You apparently do not have any idea what you're talking about either.
LMAO. You just proved you don't know **** about what you're talking about. That day cab (non sleeper) truck with an empty flatbed weighs MAYBE 29,000 lbs. You can haul a 50,000 lb load with that truck and be legal all day long as long as it axles out. Although you are correct in saying that you can't haul 2 pieces of pipe, with one piece of 29k lb pipe, you're looking at around 60k lbs, not 80k. So, your first claim that it weighed 80k lbs is bullshit
I work with Eagle Ford Shale, we are doing the major Houston pipeline in Colorado county area. We have one of the biggest pipe storage yards, if anyone drives on I-10/71 area you can't miss it, it's right off the highway. Although the thickness of pipe flew right over my head that pipe is still nowhere near the weight you claim. The other reasons for only being able to carry one 42" pipe is width that the single trailers can hold, and yes weight would be too great with two. My statement just claims the load you were pulling is nowhere near what you claimed. That total load is 65-70k tops ( on the safe side ) if you wish I will get EXACT numbers.

Thanks for proving my point even further.
