I guess since L.S. is fully aware of all my endorsements, including tanker, it was not an issue for me to haul it.

But since you are obviously blown away with them, let me try to resize and re-post them, I am not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to computers, so bear with me.

I disagree with you Rev. All that tank is, was cargo. That is how DOT would view it. Legally DD could not have hauled product inside the tank.
Now....if the tank was not properly purged, DD should have had placards on his trailer, and a haz-mat endorsement as well.:smokin:

Good job DD. I am surprised they didn't have a stepdeck move it! Out of balance, with that high center of gravity is fun isn't it!!

What the hell is that? Did somebody throw out a pop bottle and you picked it up? Good starter load though. Something you can see around. The curve of tanks are nice because you can go through construction zones and not worry about scratching your load.

O.K. Rev, I managed to resize the pics just for YOU.....:lol:

Thanks.....It's funny you should say that, because the guy there asked why they sent a flatbed instead of a stepdeck........my reply was simple "why send a boy to do a mans job?" :lol::lol::lol:

Yeah, I found it on the side of the road and threw it up on deck..... I know it ain't much, but I had to cut my teeth sooner or later and that was it.

If you wanted to cradle it you could have toenailed those other two pieces of dunnage along the tank to your cross pieces. Or do like I do and carry some short pieces of 2x4 so you can chock wheels and block things. Just a suggestion.

Although I am not transitioning from the Navy for another five years (that will put me at 24 years), I went ahead and enrolled in school yesterday since I am on shore duty. I cant wait to start.

Thanks for all, guys.

Glad you are enjoying it. So what school did you enroll in? Keep in mind that some companies will require you to go through a refresher course if you got your CDL and have not put it to use for "X" amount of time.
