Yes.. Stuck happens. When it does, it's usually not good.. I managed to get hung up Friday.. Was fault of operator, as I had gotten into what had already been injected. It usually then has to be pumped off back into a tanker if loaded.. which I was, another crew brought over their applicator.. once emptied, sometimes you can pull the whole unit out, sometimes you have to unhook, drag the tractor out, then drag the tanks out.. Not much fun either way.
Alot of poop on the tires is also a understatement.. But if we have it on the tires means we're not getting a good cover, and then when the man from the state shows up he becomes very unhappy.. then he starts issuing fines.. so long of the short, I try my best to keep it under the dirt.
Maneuvering the trailers can be a trick.. Need a wide drive to get into the fields. I imagine if they raise the air axles it's a little easier, but I don't know much for sure, as I'm strictly a field operator.
Here are 2 better pictures of a couple of the trucks. W900 Kenworth's are the truck of choice. As the pictures show, our brokers keep the trucks clean and shiny. The truck with the hood up developed a squeal and the owner/operator was looking for the culprit.. It's hard to keep the trailers shining though, as when the company obtained them they had the weathered look as it was.. Plus it'd take a lot of hours to polish up that big of a trailer.
The weight of the truck, trailer, and load is roughly 160,000 pounds.. which can be hauled legally in Michigan with proper plating and permits, and with enough axles.
