    That's a little scary.

    I met a 25 foot wide dump bed from a mining truck on a 2 lane in Oklahoma today that was on a standard flatbed. It was tipping from side to side so much I thought for sure I was going to see it digging into the pavement.

    The motorcycle cops that were escorting it were riding out in the oncoming lane. That kind of surprised me.

    I'm not sure what is all going on here with this load, but I do think it would be possible to secure a trailer to the top of two beams like this. I'd do it if they were both paying right ! lol, it looks like there is some bracing between the two beams, but not sure why this driver didn't take advantage of the DOT bumper to X some chains in the back. you could also X chains at a few points simply by hooking them to the frame of the trailer. can't see what this driver did with the dollies for sure either....

    You would think that was loaded with a crane maybe he should have flipped the trailer on its back
