Oversized Load

I live very close to a Valero refinary. They have been doing some construction for the last year. The pictures below are for something dealing with diesel. My sister n law, who's a draftsmen there, told me. I can't remeber now though.

The total load weight for the trucks plus the load was right at 1 million pounds. It left Houston 3 weeks ago. It has had to take the back highways due to it's size and weight. It has a truck pulling it, and 2 behind it pushing it.

I tried to take enough pictures, so that you can tell how big it is. I couldn't get far enough back from the truck to take a full length picture. I would of ended up roadkill if I had tried.

Here are the pictures.

The one with the guy standing in it is my husband. He is 6ft 6 inches tall.

I also included a shot of writing that was stenciled on the side.

I noticed it was made in Japan too. I'm hoping my sisnlaw calls me when it finally reaches the plant. I want to see how they get this big boy off the trucks. They've only been able to travel at 10 to 15 mph. Which would suck for the truck drivers.

Oh and ya'll keep saying how dave is, he's gonna get a bigger head than he has. :wah:
