Saw these two crawling up the M5 through Somerset earlier today. These are girder section transporters in an unloaded state, on their way back from Plymouth to Staffordshire.
Travelling speed of 18mph! Wouldn't fancy the tyre or fuel bill! think we counted 68 tyres!
Heavy haulage

We transported a few buildings and the bridge over the apron from Gatwick land side to air side. had to built land side. took days over runways etc. lost count of the amount of wheels. that was boring just walking beside them. Upside was we got a 5 course meal. leave me down a muddy trench any day than do that again.
