I have been thinking about a book for the 20 years or so .Maybe one day.
For those of you who think I dont have a life except big trucks ,well I dont.(lol)
I have thousands and thousands of pics.Not just Heavy Haulage but cranes, earthmoving,fire trucks in action,helicopters in action(fire fighting,rescue and Army Blackhawks)and sometimes I wonder down to the end of the street and get Tug Boats. I have managed to avoid trains, trams and bussess unless they are all smashed up.
I manage this in between 11 hr days at work(supervisor at a rigging/transport company doing factory/machinery relocation)and making sure my girl friend get her photos.Shes a bird spotter and drags me along to get her pics of parrots.

Fantastic pictures red, love the big heavy haul pics, as i've said before it makes an Aussie appreciate the Australian transport laws compared to the US on outsized loads , how easy it is in Australia compared to the US, I would like to see a thread with photos of similar loads in the US and Australia, to realy show the differance in laws and what the US operators have to do to move a load, and please no crane pics , do a seperate thread but please don't wreck this one, there is already numerous theads for cranes , please let us dirt and heavy haul have one to ourselves.

The Isuzu drove out of a car park made for cars that was over a stormwater drain and the Luna Park one was a few years ago when they were redeveloping the place and they had to dig out a car park.
