Boys from North Dakota

Delivered pipe to Alexander Pipe Yard, then drove to Williston, ND to pick up a pumping unit gear box, bound for Shafter, CA.

The gear box was heavy and awkward to strap down. Took some doing, but we put five chains and four straps on it, and that did the trick. It did walk a little to the side, due to the road construction in Salt Lake City and Provo, Utah.
Delivered pumping station gear box to Lufkin in Shafter, CA this morning, at 6:00am, after a wild ride down from North Dakota. With the roads in such bad shape, especially the construction through Salt Lake City to Provo, Utah, I was worried that the load would walk right off the edge of the trailer, or the trailer would break in half.

We tried to find a load out for Saturday, but we didn't have any luck, so we checked into a Motel 6 in the big town of Buttonwillow for two nights.
