    Either that or the extra helping of 2 for $5 dollar Pilot pizza probably shifted too much weight to the trailer axles! LMMFAO

    That's a 13 year old trailer. For USX trailers the first 2 numbers reversed indicate the year made, the last 4 numbers indicate the order it came to them in.

    The deck of a Ravens 48 foot flatbed covered wagon spread I had in the mid 90's was rated by the factory to accept a 52000 pound coil belly loaded onto the center marker light no longer than 24 feet.

    YOU CANNOT impose that kind of bridge loading against the floor and frame below of a ordinary van trailer. To belly load all your pallets in the middle is stupid. You will break it because you exceeded the floor and frame bridge loading.

    And since Pennsylvania is a BRIDGE LAW STATE you better believe DOT is probably gonna be looking into how that trailer was loaded.
