    1/2" chain don't mean ####. Every one of these loads are secured with 1/2" chain.

    Ya anything that can be pulled with a typical 3 axle tractor is definately NOT heavy haul. Heck I've had over 115 behind a lil baby 12.7 detroit. The only noticeable difference between that and a legal load with the same truck was how many gears i dropped going up a hill.

    Now that guy that got popped in Rhode island being 400k lbs over weight... that's heavy haul.
     
    cke Thanks this.

    Define "typical" please.

    Carl pulled a 13 axle with a 12.7 by the way.

    So, what's the best truck ever built? Best engine, best transmission, best NFL team, the one true religion? You're arguing about something that doesn't have an answer, seriously.

    It's kinda like the Supreme Court said about pronography "you'll know it when you see it"
