    I've never how it was safe to run a 3-4 car trailer on the back of a 1-ton dully. I see them driving around Chicago all the time with their ### end almost dragging on the ground. I'm surprised more don't end up like the picture.

    My fifth wheel was 32k. ANY fifth wheel has better side stability than a gooseneck.

    That and one vehicle loaded that far up wasn't too bright

    I was in my pick up and close to home and I knew you'd enjoy the picture so I took it just for you.
    I also have one of an US Express truck where the driver drove the front tire off the truck in FJ parking lot cause he didn't do a pre trip would you like to see it ?
    looked like a newer truck could've been a new MC number if thats the case insurance may be a problem before long. If it was me and I had just lost my trailer and load a picture would be the last of my worries, I might take one myself to start a Fundme page seeking donations to help pay the cargo deductible.

    I live near a couple of regional auto auctions.. Those goosenecks and duallys go over all the time. That guy was lucky if you think about it. He only had one car on. The ones I usually see rolled are fully loaded with some poor dealers auction haul.
