Had to leave a super load on the side of I696 in Detroit yesterday, rented a truck and moved it down to a safer spot today, looks like its going to be there for the weekend....

I was thinking it was a big beer can.

Good guesses, its actually a drum for a huge cheese grater, like this, only industrial sized :
The truck just up and died while pulling a little hill on I696, I managed to coast it to the shoulder of the road, checked what I could myself and didn't find the problem, it turns out the harness going to the power distribution center, and the PDC itself were severely corroded, why I never thought to look there , is beyond me. I got the truck back at 3 30 yesterday afternoon, half an hour too late to legally move the trailer. I rented a truck thursday night and moved the load to a safer spot , that little truck sure didn't appreciate 250 000 lbs haha
It takes quite a bit of real estate to turn it, having the rear self steer helps a lot, it can be manually overridden for REALLY tight spots.
You can see the rear three axles steering it around the corner in this pic.
