Hope he doesn't have any sharp turns to make
Most bizzare I would say.

I've never seen a trailer like that before. Rotating the tires would take all day!

I count 74 tires, Wow I'd hate to check the pressure in all of them. I imagine it's very expensive per hr. hour to hire that rig.

Wow, that thing looks like a locomotive w/rubber tires !

Autocar is a very old brand of heavy duty trucks. They started making vehicles back before WWI when trucks still used solid rubber tires.

Wonder if they are still in business ?

Look at the ballast weights chained to the tractor, they are huge! I wonder what that transformer looking thing weighs on the trailer; it looks like it is almost touching the ground. That trailer looks like something they use to move buildings with.
