Miller's is not far from me. They move alot of big machinery that comes from overseas. They pick it up at Great Lakes ports and take it all over. Although lately, I think they're doing more machinery moves TO the port. Alot of these businesses are shipping their machinery to Asia & India

They used to have one that had a tractor in the rear, pushing. I haven't seen that one in a while.

What the hell is it they are hauling? It must be awfully damn heavy with all of those axles.

How do you like this one? He's got a pusher motor in the back. He builds the trailers and hauls.

Alot of the times it's rolliing or stamping presses. Basically it's a block of steel the size of a small house. They're used alot in the auto industry so you'll see them around those areas. I've also seen them moving some big generators and they used to transport nuke pressure vessels that were made by here for the Navy subs and carriers.

They delivered presses to Saturn with a rig like the first pic. The truck had two engines in the dog house feeding a cross box. each engine had a clutch. Ran on one unloaded and two when loaded.

I'm suprised that those trucks can handle that load.
