Arrow I guess if it fits on the trailer, haul it.....

I hope he was making good money on that load cause he was probably doing some damage to his trailer with those trucks on. Maybe not right away but something I would not want to do very often. I don't know what those yellow trucks weigh but it looks like a pretty big load for a 1-ton and a wedge. That's a lot of weight to be hanging on the very end of the wagon like that. Not sure of the weight on the rear axle of his truck but I would think it pretty substantial. I would have thought a bigger hauler would have been in order for that move.
Stay safe out there.

All I know about that load was with the 3 box trucks, he lowerd all the air out of tires and chained it down hardcore. He said it was right at 13.6. Last truck wasnt supposed to be bigger but it was. We all know how that goes sometimes. Anywho, grossed $4000 from atlanta to buffalo. Obviously this was a night drive.

Please DONT TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN WILL ON A WEDGE. This is what you call a big dumb load. Guy was desperate for money. Money makes people do weird things.

If you wanna haul these loads, buy a haul a round trailer!!!!
