    It's most likely empty. Probably moves a lot of them hence the single axle

    It is empty, that’s for sure.

    It’s a safe bet that it is a empty container.

    It’s hanging over the front of the trailer though... don’t you need to take up the whole deck in order to do that legally?

    Yeah, and the single trailer axle is good for 20k. You would seed a bulge in the tires if it was overloaded for sure.

    Thanks everybody. I knew this was the place to ask. I've never seen one on a slope like that, so it didn't look right. But now I know.

    Aren't many of these "hot shots" famous for trying to haul big weights on trailers not rated for those weights?

    Saw one in Odessa TX hauling a 660sj lift with a F450

    They are around 28k in weight. I was wondering why the right lane was doing 10mph. When I finally got around I saw him. I’m sure it was a local oilfield move, but :biggrin_2554:
