AUGUST CONTEST WINNER
Congratulations to SafeTruck’s August 2012 Oversize Load winner - John Baker of Robert’s Towing out of Lexington, KY. Mr. Baker hauls construction equipment, such as dozers and track hoes with his 2011 Kenworth W900L tri-axle, 550 IXS Cummins 18 speed truck, pulling a Landoll 4-axle 55-ton lowboy and a 55-ton Trail King tri-axle lowboy.
Mr. Baker hauled this Link Belt Crane (without a boom) from the Link Belt manufacturing plant in Lexington, KY to a test lab in Noblesville, IN … then back to the manufacturing plant. It was 14 ft. tall, 10 ½ ft. wide with a gross weight of 110,000 lbs. At the test lab, Mr. Baker put the crane into a giant freezer, where they dropped the temperature below zero degrees and tested the engine, hydraulic systems and other components/systems.
Mr. Baker utilizes SafeTruck 18”x84” OSL mesh banners and 18”x18” red jersey staff and wire flags (with flag magnets) on his hauls and buys his SafeTruck products at FleetPride Truck & Trailer Parts in Lexington, KY. Mr. Baker told us, “ Your company has the best products available. I have found over the years that your signs and flags outlast the competition ten to one. Please keep selling your quality products.”
Congratulations John Baker for many successful heavy haul trips utilizing SafeTruck oversize banners and flags!
