Don't worry the 300kg of cocaine in the bottom boxes will keep it balanced. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardinalblue Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 No problem with height or center of gravity? that turkey will soon find telephone wires, a pedestrian walkway or low hanging branches soon enough... bad judgment by police... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one will go higher than that very long since that's where power cables and bridges are. The driver's brother must work for the electricity company and it's the driver's way of keeping his brother in work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tifino Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 looked more like a Car Checkpoint, not a Truck Weighbridge at all... notice the cars at the Left were the targets besides; the Checkpoint building was built high enough, to cater for these behemoths...

He11 I have had 150 empty boxes on my pick-up and it not modified! I agree, not weight overloaded and not sure about height restrictions, but probably within what's allowed. However, certainly not a safe load in terms of windage, the roll over point is probably fairly low in relation to its height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misterwhisper Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 All that was needed was 30 migrant workers perched on top of that pile to make it all picture perfect. They even could've rightfully claimed not to have broken any law. After all, they would not have been huddling in the BACK of the pickup truck but ON TOP the pile. There is no law against that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately that is not the case and that is why we see so much <deleted>, vehicles in the pit, or on the back, other vehicles with a huge cantilever I do not know how much it is in the USA or in Thailand but in France the maximum authorized is 3.5 meters from the middle of the last axle ;Here we often see vehicles with a cantilever of several meters I drove big trucks in the US, Don't think there's a law like that. It's never come up there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
