    Just watched this YouTube shorts video about a big bucket being hauled and the submitter states that he doesn't want to talk about the height of said bucket being hauled.

    Well, if he hits a bridge, the local NEWS STATION will certainly want to.

    Probably small if you had a “big bucket” you’d know the size and brag about it.

    Truck and trailer weighing 100K?

    wonder what the trailer weighs, it seems it comes in at 60k and the truck at 30k

    That trailer is 10’ wide and it depends on how much deck he has in plus it is a drop side. My 4 axle is around 30k bobtail - so not inconceivable that he is close to 100k empty.
