I wonder if that trailer didn’t get bent from a previous load. A single axle dump truck like that will weigh 12-14,000 pounds. Thats overloaded for a 14k trailer but not so much so that it should look like that especially with the axel spacing on the truck. A 14k cube of concrete right in the middle of the trailer is a lot different than a truck that’s on 2 axles 12 ft apart.

Agreed. Tire squish is minimal, which you'd expect to see under any load heavy enough to bend the trailer.

That's what I was thinking. That truck can't or shouldn't be heavy enough to make it bend like that. I think I would be investing in a new trailer before I would use that one.

Some twenty years ago or so I hauled an old IH dump truck home on my 14k 20+5 gooseneck. If I recall correctly it was an 1800 series? IH 345 gasser with a 5&2, air brakes. My trailer did not look like the one in post 21,574.
I did make a second trip for the 10' plow.

That truck doesn’t outweigh my SVL 90 skid steer by much and I haul my skid steer on a 14k trailer. It is probably slightly overloaded but it’s not hurting the trailer. The spring camber is still pointed up, the tires are still round and there’s no deflection of the frame.

Sunday on a trip to HF, the boy and I were on the way back and were buzzing down the right most lane (of 3) to a stop light. Middle lane was backed up far and my lane was clear, so I was rolling pretty fast. I passed a trailer that the right two tires were so flat, the rim was about an inch off the pavement. Guy was hauling a mower or something, but I was going to fast to see. I just saw the tires and concentrated on them, thinking “that is really bad”.

So are these hauling wrong? First 2 pictures some 12 ft treated posts, rest is 10ft 2x treated. 3rd picture is second load. Included is a strap up front in the box. Tundra handled both loads well. Stuff for a tree house for the grand kids. Jon

Really? Which one? Because that image has been circulating the Internet for 15+ years...

It must be local wherever it's parked.

You can load anything that heavy! Not show moving to the location of the picture! Just staging for the photo!

Looks like a single cheap (600 lb?) thin 1" strap. Hopefully he at least made a complete loop thru the car, and didn't just hook it onto the interior trim at the door seals!
There's never a weigh wagon around when you need one! The driver is probably one of the guys on another site who told me to sell my Colorado because I don't "need" a truck... Rather, he says I "need" a lifestyle change.
They wouldn't allow me to print my answer.

Why do I think the other errand he is combining with the pallet run is a quick stop for cash at the drive-through ATM with 8' clearance?
