He was hauling the building that would house the new MRI Unit for MDI Hospital.
Saxton, who had started the journey with his oversized load just before the 4th of July, made it to Maine on the 14th.

He would embark on an arduous journey that would see him stuck with his 164-foot payload first on the Penobscot Narrows bridge Wednesday evening.

As folks kept track of his travels and tribulations online on the Downeast Maine Traffic & Road Conditions Facebook Page, one thing started to become clear to everyone watching Saxton work; he was doing an outstanding job under a very stressful situation, and he was keeping his cool in the midst of all those challenges.
