If a bridge says 35 Ton Limit, would you cross it?

I would tell them I thought it was a long ton which is 2240 .So that would equal 78,400....Hammer Down...

 

sagging and bulky trailer? the only sagging trailers i've ever seen had broken springs or busted air bags but the bulky trailers i see are generally chip haulers or the carpet haulers(I was one!) back in the day that had the sides blown out due to the large rolls of carpet shoved in making the trailers look pregnant.

to answer you question,yes i would cross it.why not if you must to get to where you are going. don't be scared or you'll never enjoy life-

 

Imagine meeting a truck on the bridge, you both weigh 35 tons, now if it's a 4 lane highway and you're both being passed by another truck weighing 35 tons, that's 160 tons on that bridge.

 

A smart Cajun always carries a tank of helium inside his dry van, and cracks the valve open right before approaching bridge, as a foolproof way. Yep, Hammer Down!

 

The answer is YES. Hitch up your big girl panties; or grow a pair, whichever you choose, and CROSS THAT BRIDGE when you come to it !!!!

 

I've crossed 15 ton limit bridges fully loaded.Not by choice but there was no where to turn around.

 

There are a lot of these in Arkansas out on the country farm roads. I came across one that said 18ton limit, I was at 40tons. I had no choice and just kept going.
