Just listed my bus on vintage birds - dandarst - 02-18-2007 04:01 Decided to move up, so listed my 86fc35rb on vintage birds. Owned it for four years and have enjoyed upgrading it to its present condition. If you know someone looking, please point them in my direction.

Worse yet were the charlie horses I got from puckerin' my butt and curlin' my toes for so long.

The last time I went this way, I was escorting a 325,000 pound truck hauling a rotor for a electrical generator in a power plant in Utah. It seemed like it took us forever to get up and over the top, but the big Peterbuilt with Cummins power did the job. I wouldn't even try doing this in my 'Bird. We had to go this way as the CDOT considered this load as hazardous and would not allow us to go through the tunnel. On some of the grades coming west from Denver, we were down to speeds as low as 12 mph, we had to warn the freight haulers that normally are the slowest on these grades that we would be going slower than they were.

How long is that vehicle on your picture?

The center section that is carrying the load itself, a turbine shaft in this photo, is 40 feet by itself, it is a 13 axle setup, but if you look further on my old business web site there are some 18 and 19 axle setups over 200 feet long and the one with the extra truck pushing the load is 585,000 pounds gross. The center sections of these trailers can be changed and were up to 65 feet by themselves, maybe longer now days, I haven't escorted a load since my heart attack a few years ago. Now I just go slow in the right lane in my 'Bird.
