I'm glad you explained that, thanks! I've seen a lot of really cool stuff being hauled here lately, that makes it easier to understand how.

I understand you are talking about hauling oversized equipment of some sort, and I feel kinda dumb asking the question. But what does O/D and RGN stand for?

O/D is "over dimensional," i.e., > 13'6" high, > 8'6" wide, > 53' long, or a combination of those.

RGN is "removable gooseneck," which is a type of trailer that allows the gooseneck to be detached from the trailer, making it easier to drive heavy equipment onto the deck. The gooseneck is reattached and the truck can pull away the whole load.

A volvo like that was my second ever load. Lots of things were or could have gone wrong that day.
