i was on a road crew setting pipe for a couple summers, and they had a 220 and 300... a 400 would be a big machinewhat kind of permit does it take to get it down the highway?, that thing has to be 90-100k lbs by itself
About 100,000 I just hook up the gooseneck and pull it down the road with my pick/up. What are the permits for???

lol..... really though is it a hassle to move?As long as road limits aren't on (frost) permits aren't too bad. A couple hundred for a trip permit. I haven't looked in a while but it was 40 to haul combined weight of 120000. Once the emergency is called pretty much anything goes. You should have seen the stuff being moved last year. 24/7.

I will be way too busy during the flood shit. I am on EVAC, and we are pretty much preparing for the worst... Red is supposed to be worse than last, shyenne the same, and wild rice, worse... I doubt i will be sleeping much... This shit is gonna be bad if it doesnt slowly thaw, and im pretty sure its not going to be a slow thaw...

I will come up and help sand bag if someone is willing to put me up for the night, or a few nights.

We will probably need sandbagging help this year more than help with our dike. Due to the fact that moorhead told us they were doing a clay dike down our street, were basically required to ring our house... thats gonna be a lot more sandbags than were used to in the past
