Hes a lucky SOB. Lucky he didnt kill someone or get his truck impounded.

How he made it from OK to Alaska, without someone stopping him i have no idea, but id bet there was more than a little "night" running going on. ANy inspector that saw that would have a field day.

/Best is he took pictures , so he must be proud of his "achievement":mad:

yeah, its a legit story and the weight is correct.

truck and trailer should, in theory, handle the weight fine, and it did, just slowly at times. a tandem dual trailer, and a diesel/5spd truck seems like it should be ok. i am not surprised that he did NOT kill anyone, calm down....

21ton through the mountains especially, with that rig, is just stupid.

That doesn't even look like a dually. Looks like single rear wheels.

:rolleyes:

I don't think it should be OK.....WHEN HE kills someone he will be locked up for a long time.

Give the guy a break. At least it wasn't a bumper pull!

Calm down?

You know, a lot of people spend a lot of time/money to learn how to handle that kind of load safely & professionally. I get my med card this Monday renewed. Why do I go through the trouble? Probably peace of mind knowing that I did my part for safety and it's the law.

I'm guilty of overloading myself a few times, but not to that degree.

Calm down? Heaven's no. I will continue to voice my opinion on idiots who put other people's lives in danger. I don't care if it's a Cummins or a Briggs & Stratton. It's only a pickup and pickups weren't designed to safely tow that kind of weight.

I'm perplexed as to how/why but posting pictures of trucks towing way beyond their safe limits is allowed. There's a lot of immature people out there who will look at that photo and try to immitate what was done to stroke their own ego or impress others with the towing capacity of their "Cummins". Then someone gets hurt or worse.

Sorry, but that just makes no sense to me. :confused:
