    They put the absolute cheapest Made 8n India tires on those to move them, and don’t replace them, even after the building sat for years before moving the building again. 26 psi in each one.

    The only time the tires get replaced is when thry blow out in transit. Yet each oversize move requires a permit and permit fee to the state DOT.

      They get a dolly to put those houses on. They absolutely do not sit on tires when they’re in parks. Even cheap retreads are too expensive to be leaving under houses.

        Go back to Reddit and be an expert, or show me obe of these dollies.

        After they’re situated they’re leveled with screw jacks. Sometimes the tires are removed, but mostly not. Any extra step costs money.

          Ten years in moving equipment, freight, and yes the odd mobile home. Not to mention an all American white trash upbringing.

          And here’s your dolly!

    You had a house in the middle of the highway?

    Luxury!

    You were lucky. We lived for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six in the morning, clean the paper bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down the mill for fourteen hours a day week in week out, for sixpence a week. When we got home, out Dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt!

    And you try and tell the young people today that… and they won’t believe ya’

      No no no. You need to at least let someone post about getting up 2 hours before they went to bed, licking the tar off the road and whatever else it was. THEN you say the last line.

      You closed this off for the rest of us to join in!

      Kids of t’day.
