I think that you need a tractor for that one, otherwise check your registration, you might be getting pulled over for being overweight.

You are probably over the GVWR of the trailer as well. You probably need a tandem axle dual tire trailer, rated at least 20 ton. May need air brakes as well.
Thanks for the lighter side of "overloaded"

Yup - in fact CDL-A since the trailer GVWR needs to be 40,000 lbs.
BTW, how long can we keep this up? I haven't had a straight face for a while.

I don't know but I like it and it's a good stress reliever. Nice to get a thread like this every now and then. I agree, I've been grinning like a mule eating briars.

Are you sure the rangers won't be overloaded by association? Maybe he needs F450 escort vehicles.
