Скачать или смотреть Semi Trucks | Hauling “Slitter balls” from McIntosh Alabama to Calvert Alabama.

First time hauling this cargo. The paperwork lists it as “Slitter balls”. Kind of a weird name if you ask me. It’s basically shredded up strands of stainless steel that are wound into bales, resembling round bales of hay like you would see used on a farm.

We haul them from the place that cuts/processes the metal, to the plant that melts it all down to form the new pieces of stainless from them. (Not sure what all they will make. It could be plate steel, or whatever)

It’s an unusual cargo to dump, compared to what I normally haul. Once the bundles start coming out, some from the front will usually bounce over the back ones and you feel like you have boulders bouncing around in the bed as you’re dumping out. It tends to want to rock the bed so I didn’t immediately go all the way up. I raised just enough to get the cargo moving then once it settled down, I eased the bed the rest of the way up and rolled on forward.

It’s definitely a fun cargo to dump, and a nice change from the same stuff all the time. It was good to build my “resume” of dump cargo that I’m familiar with. 👍
