    I'll take all day with a load, it doesn't move until I feel safe with it.

    I agree as well, driving in my opnion is at least 70% of the securement of the load. you can take a heave load or lite put a minumium securement drive slowly and get there with it.but why risk the chance that something can happen, do the job right and di it right the 1st time

    So what exactly is the point of converting the weight then posting it here? Are we to be impressed by this? This makes zero sense to me
