I trailered a towable man lift (bucket lift) from Georgia to New York. The thing that made it eventful is that I had to drive my truck.

Interstate 85 in Atlanta collapsed on the evening of March 30, 2017. Three sections of both the Northbound and the Southbound road had to be replaced. It was completed by May 14th 2017.

It took less than 2 months working around the clock. Well done. If we were in NY it would have taken at least a year.
