oilfield1 · Nov 06, 2009, 02:36 PM

I own a small Oversize Load Escort company.Here is a couple of pics I took this past week while working along side the Louisiana State police.Our caravan of 9 Vehicles consisted of 3 State troopers,4 private escorts and two 18 wheelers.The 2 compressor skids that we escorted were 18'wide,17'tall and 230,000lbs.The move was from Broussard Louisiana to Ft.Stockton Texas.Enjoy......

When you said escort company, I was expecting a whole different set of pics!

..well at least you didn't hit any tall railroad crossings or weak bridges.

There is another photo out there I wanted to post but could find.

What were you carrying on those trailers?

Looks like refinery equipment. What are you running in your Mack? Looks like an CH model from the front but the windows look like the new Vision. Ya got love the Bulldogs!

I was thinking it looked like a very very big air drier.

I don't think the Mack is his, I think the pickup in front is...

'Escort' company makes me think of the guys in the pickups with the flags that drive in front and behind, not the actual load bearing truck.

I see now he is the escort. I can see what looks like 2 gauges on the back of the two up-rite tanks. These look like pressure or vacuum gauges. If the load was going from Louisiana to Texas my bet is Oil,LP gas, or natural gas refinery.

This is one I happened to catch photos of as it rolled through town. As I recall 24 feet wide, 20 feet tall, nearly 300 feet long, and almost a million pounds totall rolling down the road. Oh yeah one truck pulling and two trucks pushing. The stitch job on the last photo sucks but it gets the point across.

I have some oversized equipment myself, but nothing that big. Just a little 20' overhang.
