Bad boy is 1 sheared nut away from a good time I'm sure the reduced brake power is helpful poor 1 ton

Oh im going to have to start taking more pictures of the shenanigans that bin truck drivers do.

That's not an overload, just a driver too lazy to strap can to chassis. Hopefully there's a big machine on site to pick that can back on the rails.

True--but it's good for amusement.

It was overloaded before he tipped it and the bin came off the rails

I see rigs like that come southbound through Texas. They are all headed for Mexico. You can usually find some kind of Mexican dealertplate on one of them.

At the loves on HW 59 at cleveland texas there will be 4 or 5 of those trains blocking all the gas pumps. Not a license plate on anything.

Would even gold be a load for this?

Enough axles for about 380,000 lb ?

I just like the fact a Freightliner is latched to the kingpin and not a PacCar.

If Look Closer, BOTH of those Side Dumps ARE Loaded, are trucking mixed soil to a Site where rock is separated out then hauled elsewhere. Wife Missed getting pic of that site. Company here uses Single Side Dumps similar just without the extra axles, routinely haul to 80/84,000 gw with them Filled, yet here are required to have rollover tarps.

I think GoodYear, Firestone, and Michelin had paid lobbyist's for that rule....

Probably let too much cable out and bounced the can off the ground when trying to shake those last rocks out, no straps involved when trying to shake the can, ask me how I know that. Luckily when I did it was at the landfill and there was a big excavator there to scrape frozen crap from cans.

Data Centers for Amazon and Google going in N of here, averaging some 150-250 Truckloads of Crushed stone for footjngs and base mat per day from upwards of Three Quarry systems. Local hole has had to drop short wall five times in as many weeks for screening and crusher runs. See up is for last week, Quint Dump for a close locale company got picked off by DOT and taken to DOT Hwy Dept Yard also near for inspect and scale. Seems had 14 violations for maintenance, and was 17,000 Over Gross License weight.

Tried to play Commercial Zone card, Failed. Got to the level of measuring Bridge Formula, REGARDLESS total axle spread weight was outside bridge fornula. Licensed 80k but by formula only allowable to 71,500. That started the cascade. Short end dumps next and Quads as well All manner of rig set ups. ALL failed Bridge Formula as lengths shut it off.
Old Quads at previous employer are down to 67,800 scalable and the Tandem drop axle on that short end dump I used to drag, 73280 MAX regardless how many axles.

MO DOT Brownshirts have come to attention!!! Rules are Back On.

Should have laid a shortline RR to the site....

That's good, if rules were followed, wouldn't need to enforce.
