    Have you seen a Dodge 5500 pulling a Max6? I did once in the Houston area.

    I think it is crazy and I see them running all over Denver all day. I bet they are putting new brake pads on once a month

    Ok the weight is definitely a problem but did anyone notice the rear car on top ( the red one) that the rear wheels are not even on the deck?
    They have blocks off the deck carrying the weight of the car on the unibody in front of the rear tires. WOW!

    I have see a lot of them pulling the mini five but not the max 6.
    I pull my max 6 with a single axel tractor and it grosses in the 54,000 range.
    That would be just crazy to pull one with a 5500.
    Instead of DOT being on everyone’s tail for the small stuff this is where they should focus some attention before someone is killed with a set ups like these.

    I would guess the 5 cars are about 2800 average and the suv maybe 4,000 so 18,000 in cargo, I'm guessing 8500 on the trailer? and the truck is going to be 8,000, sooo, 34,500 and that is without fuel, personal items and person, and I would think those are conservative numbers?

    Darwin award nominee?
    (And no; I didn't notice blocking under rear or red car until I blew pix up.)
    That wouldn't even be an option. One less car will break you? You got issues.

    Creative loading there! Same guy will get all anxious about offering to go behind a brokers back for 28 cpm per car instead of 30 cpm. Cause he can really pack em on his rig. Those guys pulling 3 cars can't compete with him.

    We are seeing those units up here pulling 6 cars. I would want a truck ahead of those loads
