That there is a typical chevy owner. They expect to way much out of chevy trucks. I was thinking atleast a 1 ton was hooked to the front. Next time maybe get a "transfer" truck. And how would you explain that one to the insurance company? They dont cover stupidity

nope. since i have e-mail these pics to friends and family and they will do the same thing, i would think, wouldn't be long, his insurance agent will probaly be looking at them too that was sent to him/her from a friend by e-mail. boy, technology sucks man.

> Wounder what that thing weighted? 15K?

Yea, probably. I figured roughly 6+ feet across or more so about 5 feet tall x 5 feet wide = 25 cubic feet x 75 pounds of oak x 8 feet = 15000 pounds.

Good news is he wrecked his truck because imagine someone like that towing that load and then wrecking and having that thing come off the trailer. It would either kill him or a bus load of nuns.

that log isnt worth 15k, I'm guessing its around 1500 board feet. Just paid 80c a board foot for red oak
