Overload of the Day

[Truck Shop]

A trailer that expensive probably has auto-inflation system.

...and then it goes haywire overnight and ALL the tires deflate...

 

[Old Doug]

That many trucks and drivers trying to work together i bet at least one of them has his truck in reverse when they take off.

Won't do that, each hub has it's own one way check.

 

[cfherrman]

And checks always work

 

[JaredV]

I would think so, but I've heard of it happening. Weyerhauser runs them and requires gyppos to run them on certain jobs so there are a lot of log trucks around here with them. Edit- But they also want to be able to lower the pressure when off highway so they can't have checks. Just thought of that.

This rig blew by me at about 80mph on the interstate:




Also noteworthy in the past couple weeks, although I didn't get any pics, was a new Honda Ridgeline with gravel up to the top of the "bed sides". Rear wheels were pointing out at about 15* from vertical. Worse yet was a 3/4T pickup pulling a Komatsu PC88MR mid-sized excavator, wtf is wrong with people?

 

[Birken Vogt]

I don't go much over 60 mph with a rig like that even with a full size truck pulling it. Too much can go wrong too fast.

People will always find a way to question everything, you don't need them or would use so
why would you care. Most all use auto inflate these days with very little issues.

These boys had a little too much water in the back of the truck, it didn't make it around the corner.

You don't know that I don't need or would use them

But he might know that you don't know that you think but don't know that you know that you might never not need them.

 

[cfherrman]

I can get onboard with that

 

[cfherrman]

Yep

 

[csthompson12]

I'm not saying it couldn't do it.. But I have the same Chevy top kick dump, and with a load of gravel in the bed I can barely make it up hills. I cant imagine towing a Hitachi 160.

 

[Truck Shop]

Not a overload but worth watching.

 

[Truck Shop]

A bareback I bought some years ago for a ag company I worked for. They rented it for use
as a fire tender, while unloading someone forgot to open the vent.

 

[crane operator]

The old hog confinement buildings all used vacuum tanks for clean out, and I don't know how many old rusted steel ones I worked on that got sucked in. It seemed like a lot.

See the vacuum tanks mostly for septic tank pumping here.

5-10 lbs of vacuum is a lot of force.

 

[Tyler d4c]

Was nearly enough vacuum to remove chrome from a trailer hitch.

I’ve heard this before tho it was not related to vacuum trucks………
