Green Dash Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 The Freightliner tractor looks similar to the one that was being towed from Detroit Diesel in Bedford in the last transporter saga.Maybe we're dealing with only one set of moe-rons here.

JTFormula Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Wow! That's a first. WTF are these guys thinking? Those wedge trailers aren't designed to carry that kind of weight in one spot. It's fools like this that pick up loads for $.40 a mile that ruin it for the rest of us. I have been doing my research and crunching numbers to see if running a 3/4 car trailer can make sense. Not with jerkoffs like this booking loads with the wrong equipment and the lots they are leaving don't give a crap. Pay cheap get cheap but no one seems to care. 1 Quote ~ JT Burkard ~ AKA Sweaty Mackwww.jtresto.com www.wickedreputation.netwww.jonathanthomasmotorcars.com Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32418-another-not-so-brite-transporter/#findComment-201126 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GearheadGrrrl Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 These clowns often don't even know what a piece of equipment weights- That dump truck is probably at least 12 tons and that trailer has at most a capacity of 10 tons, properly distributed.

They figure the truck weighed around 20K, and the SUV is on the nose supported by the tractor so "it should be fine" DOH!!!! Only problem, every time one axle gets light, the other two take the weight(all of it). Sooner or later you are going to break an axle stub off. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Only problem, every time one axle gets light, the other two take the weight(all of it). Sooner or later you are going to break an axle stub off.That's what worried me about that blown airbag yesterday. I had a load of treated lumber on, had to go from Lovingston up to rt. 6 to turn around, then back 8 or 10 miles to drop the trailer. I was thinking the whole time "if another one blows from all the pressure i'm gonna be in a world of doo-doo!" Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
