Truck Abuse

Ever seen a Truck doing more than it is supposed to be able too? The worst I've seen is a 170HP V-6 ram with bed completely loaded with stuff(long bed), along with a good sized trailer that was also loaded down. It could barely go up a incline from stop, they almost had to floor it. And tehre are those occisonial Truck you see on the road with something in the baed making it almost crape the ground.

Aniothjer one I saw a a guy in a 94-98 Chevy truck with air bag suspension, he had the back up as high as it would go(probably about 3 1/2- 4 feet_, and the front as low, to the point of where as he was going, he was throwing sparks all over the place from his crome bumper dragging the ground

We have alot of people around here that does stupid stuff like overloading trucks that arent capable of handling the load! Stuff like about 9 tons on a trailer without electric brakes, as well as trucks draggin the ground because of too much load in the bed!!!

Just go to HomeDepot and you will see some trucks and cars getting way over loaded..

Funniest car I saw was a little Honda pulling a large popup trailer. The back was almost touching the ground.

About 2 years ago we were on the interstate when traffic began to slow to a crawl. We saw some papers, then a chair, then a desk, another chair and more paper. We soon saw a red Ford Ranger with desks, papers and chairs stacked wwwwaaaayyyyy above the cab! No tie downs or anything. The driver of the Ranger had some explaining to do to a state trooper that spotted him!

I've done it many times over. If my scanner was still working I'd scan the scale ticket from one of the loads of corn I hauled in last year, gross weight 29500lbs.
