Will your Ford truck haul like a boss

This post was updated on .
How many of you all with your Ford trucks haul loads to the maximum limit and then some. Not sure but he could have gotten a few more on there maybe. Could have been free to I suppose so haul all you can in one load.

At first glance I was concerned, but they have the load on the right side of the hood to see.

No problem!

Right, they can see left.  Or wrong, they can't see right?

Man, that is a disaster waiting to happen.  What low-hanging wire will he hit?  Like maybe a stop light?  When will it tip sideways?  Or when will that house of cards come tumbling down?

I've seen some really questionable things but that is, without question, the worst.

Love a group that starts out "you know, at FIRST you look at this and get a little worried, but if you look closely it's actually fine!"

YES!  I knew that reminded me of something!  But I'd have said Nolensville Pike at about the zoo.

Our kids used to live 1 block south of Thompson Lane on Dobbs, so I know that area pretty well.

We have "pallet guys" here also and some are stacked pretty bad but never like that

What gets me is DOT will pull over a CDL truck / trailer in a hart beat just driving down the road, they say inspection, but things like that or loads not strapped down on non-CDL trailers they just let go on by.
Its the non-CDL's that are dropping the junk on the high ways here not the CDL guys.
