What's the problem? I see truss loads looking like that all the time.
Stay Puft, BoostedTeg, LoneRanger and 9 others Thank this. -
Looks like it's strapped good. I don’t see the problem.
-
The load itself looks fine. The thing I don’t see is a chaser. Round here, it would be required.
-
Not a single thing wrong with it from the pictures. Care to elaborate on what you think was wrong?
The pictures are taken on I-270 in Gaithersburg, MD. The load itself doesn't look to be any more than 11-12ft wide to me. Maryland doesn't require a rear escort until the load is wider than 13ft.
All the overhang has to be off one side for weight balance. If they tried to make it even on each side the trailer would be leaning to the left side. Putting the large overhang all off the passenger side also means you can ride in the right lane when possible to keep the overhang over the shoulder. Sometimes you have to leave that lane though.Last edited: Jun 9, 2026

See them all the time like this. It’s well strapped. It’s how you haul them.
CAXPT, Stay Puft, Deere hunter and 4 others Thank this. -
Just looks unsafe, like those overloaded Asian trucks Chinatown posts,,
-
It’s stacked and strapped well. Everything is uniform, nothing leaning, no layers or boards walking. Also, notice how level the trailer is? This is actually good work.

Solid A+ from me.
blairandgretchen, beastr123, CAXPT and 1 other person Thank this.
