Some of those probably had some nitrous in them so he just ran a hose from the bottle to his engine. He couldn't stop until the tank was empty.

I was making a trip to Houston about two months ago, running 78mph. I got passed by a truck that had "wide load" on it and some horizontal large cylinder on it.

Probably a tower section for a wind turbine...lots of those things running up I10. Never seen one moving that fast though. It's cool seeing them haul the fan blades, those things are like 120 feet long.
