The Rhode Island Department of Transportation is figuring out what to do with a flatbed truck hauling a giant generator that's stopped at the side of Interstate 95 in Warwick because the DOT says it's too heavy for any bridges in the state. The truck is carrying a 560,000-pound generator from Quonset. On Tuesday morning, RIDOT says one of its own engineers saw the super load heading away from Quonset in North Kingstown. The curiosity factor has been causing traffic delays. It was loaded onto a heavy-duty trailer for delivery to Massachusetts, even though it should have never turned a wheel due to its extreme weight.

Lies. It's LSU's new "secret playbook" that Matt Canada ordered.

This playbook is way more complex than the old one that contained a total of 4 different plays.

I was just reading about this, apparently they didn't have a permit yet and decided to start hauling the generator anyways.

Over some of the smaller bridges that would have caused havoc.

Park that on the side of the road down here before a hurricane and I'll haul it off myself.

If a safe route can't be found, the generator may need to be disassembled along the shoulder of I-95.


That would suck.
