[QUOTE="newrancher, post: 571097, member: 6263"] This is wrong, please do not do this. Dont mean to pick on YOU Red Bull, but this is exactly why DOT is cracking down and more regs are being put in place.I have it happen almost every day, someone will pull out in front of me with an overloaded truck, be it hay, equipment or cattle,and then pokea$$ down the road either because they cant get to highway speed or they dont have the brakes to safely stop. I weigh 80,000 lbs, it takes me over 200 yds to stop at 55mph,if I loaded all I could get in my trailer, I could easily gross 120,000 lbs. Being able to bragg about what your cummins, powerstroke, or duramax can pull wont be very much fun from a wheelchair, IF YOUR LUCKY. Sorry if that seems harsh, just wanted to add a little different perspective, when there is a fatality/or personal injury accident, no one wins. I do my best to drive safely, please do yours.
