big dumb loads

here you go

Haha.

I get WTF looks with an S250 on the back of a Dodge 5500.

Haha,

My dad is former MTO Ontario (DOT in US states), the worse commercial offenders with the biggest piece of garbage trailers on the highways are Landscapers. Never strapped down loads, never safetied their trailers, bald rotten tires. List goes on and on.

The next worse was ice cream and food trucks!

With an average speed of parked on the highways I'm not surprised!
Gawd youse phawks drive SLOW!

Hahaha. Amen. Our speed limits are stuck in 1970s oil embargo days. Cops lobbied gov't to keep em low to keep the municipal coffers full and all in the name of "public safety" stupid shit Leftist Canadians fall for.

 

[Mvanhelden]

That’s impressive

 

[aczlan]

Looks like its being towed behind a bucket truck (at least it looks like a bucket on the left of the picture)?

Those T870s are fat pigs, like 12k+

Although that D3 or 4k is definitely more impressive. Iirc, they're 22-26k lbs

Edit: depending whatever, theyre more like 18-20k, but still.

What could you possibly be thinking putting that on that trailer? It's like 4 times over wieght

 

[GLTHFJ60]

Nothing on that trailer will ever be straight ever again, lol. That's awesome.

"I told the boss it wouldn't fit and he said do it anyway"

 

[clodhopper]

The hitch has a pretty good angle on it.

 

[Tinstar]

Proof positive there is no reason to buy a trailer any bigger than absolutely necessary. No doubt towed by a chuggins that gets 34 mpg.

 

[zlathim]

I repost shit on the same page the next day

Picture this.
Employees at lunch talking....

I know how to get the boss to replace the flatbed!

 

[Wades_76_cj7]

I am surprised the wheels are folded and the tires haven't blown out..

 

[woods]

I'm just thankful it strapped on there.

If they had backed up another couple inches they probably could have hooked the rippers over the front rail of the trailer and saved on tie downs

Or just hook up the winch & make the cable tight then some more to bend the tongue further.

 

[SLOWPOKE693]

Wrap it around backwards and underneath so it bends the tongue back in the correct direction.

 

[mano002]

It looks to me like the strap is holding up the ramp.

 

[woods]

It looks to me like the strap is holding up the ramp.

which leads to another observation, how the hell are those still attached?

 

[2big bronco]

Not terribly heavy, kinda dumb but had 26' beams on my 18' trailer this morning, negative or neutral tongue weight, all back roads nice and slow, flagged the tail

it was a 65ish foot long double wide, it'll make a nice car port someday

And someday is now

 

[Projectjunkie]

And someday is now

Getting there

 

[Wades_76_cj7]

Dude I am jelly as hell of your flatbed with a crane on it. lol

 

[Projectjunkie]

Dude I am jelly as hell of your flatbed with a crane on it. lol

It's certainly handy

I don't have stocks or savings, just stuff to make my life easier and save my back

 

[Levigarrett76]

Heard the noise from wheels on ground pulling in and thought damn another 6.4 bites the dust. But then i seen the trailer. I was more surprised that the 6.4 was still running than the waterlogged motorhome on what looks like 3500 lb axles

WTF would anyone build a trailer that long and only put 3500# axles under it. even if it is triples.

I would say golf cart hauler, but they are usually ramp trailers or deckovers so they can run them 2 wide.

Styrofoam/insulation haulers as well but they’re usually tandems. Light weight but high volume
