Is it just me, or is there something wrong here?

1. Of course.

The big rig lacks the mandatory mud flap accoutrement: silver silhouettes of large-breasted, naked, sitting women.

That and the fact that it's a one-lane road, and the driver taking the picture didn't capture the oncoming companion to above big rig.

9. equal opportunity mud flap:

2. That's an astute observation.

Yeah, something wrong, I'd say.

[Kali]

8. What do you think is wrong?

[Bertha Venation]

15. A truck on the road, carrying freight train axles?

Why? Put them on a train.

[XemaSab]

3. Looks like it's hauling mining equipment

You're trying to pass it.

So yes, there's something wrong if there's a mining truck going at or below the speed limit. :P

[Kali]

6. I passed it first and then thought WTF?

Pulled over to let it go by so I could get a pic. I don't think it is mining equipment.

4. they're heading for the dump

or maybe to a port for export to someplace where they will be used?

[Kali]

5. well, they looked pretty new. Truck is heading east on I-10 and this was taken in SE Arizona.

I agree, I think they are heading somewhere to be used. Still something wrong here, to me.

7. The flying saucer blotting out the sky or the rail road wheels about to roll off the truck? nt

[Kali]

10. close

[Kali]

11. just seemed a little ironic (and iron plays into it too)

[bluesbassman]

12. They've shut down the Hummer plant already?

:)

13. Railroad wheels frequently develop defects that make them ...

unusable or unsafe, or potentially damaging to tracks. They wheels are changed out at hundreds of locations across the country and are returned to shops via rail or truck. At the repair shops the wheels can be replaced on the axles or can be resurfaced on a giant lathe that cuts both wheels simultaneously.

[Kali]

16. just seemed strange to see a truck haulng trucks for trains

when the tracks are so close. and about to climb a big hill that tends to rut badly anyway.

[Jamastiene]

14. It looks like they are hauling weight lifting equipment for

the Jolly Green Giant? I wish I had a doobie, so I could come up with something more imaginative. :evilgrin:

On top of that, it looks like the only thing holding them on the back is that pitiful looking splintered 4x4. :shrug:

17. keep on
