Quick question

It's legal. Smart on the other hand.....

 

Yup more than I'd care to pull without air brakes

 

Technically they aren't legal, as they're usually over their plated chassis GCVWR. IIRC, those chassis aren't even rated for 40K, and I seriously doubt those combos are less than 20K empty.

 

Saw this this past Thursday pulling out of the BNSF rail in Littleton. Dodge 3500 pulling 6 cars. Even the wife said “that can’t be legal.” Saw another one pulling a wedge west bound I40 yesterday with 2 F350 with brush guards, steel bumpers, head racks. No way either of them were legal. It’s all B.S. with these pickups hauling cars long haul.

 

There's an F550 that pulls 6 out of there everyday.

 

You can put a load on a vehicle. She'll do it for you if you ask nicely.

I once had 22 people in my small car stacked like cordwood to make everything done in one trip long ago. That giggle mobile had no suspension, no power and hardly any brakes during that run. I wont be doing that again.

Its totally not legal. But it does not mean people don't do stuff like that.

 

And people wonder why rates and this industry has gone to ####. As long as it gets from point A to B for cheap most dont care if it's legal. All these listings on c.d. they don't care about legal weight they post 9 units all monsters and when you say I can fit 6 legal they say no or cut the already dirtball price they are listed for.
