Haha! Your drive axle weighs the same as my whole truck!! That's funny right there

I had a pair of Lister-clone stationary engines in my bed...bout 1200lbs a piece. Drove 400 miles from Maine back to NY. Leveled it out and rode nice...for a 1st gen

 

All I know is I don't haul anything that gets 4" above my bed, got a $110 ticket for that once. wow

 

Fourty two squares of shingles. That's 126 bundles at 75lbs or about 9500lbs. Only went about 40mi. Rode just fine on the smooth roads. Didn't turn to fast on the corners.

 

heaviest thing ON my truck was a 275 gallon tote of diesel fuel. almost 2000# on top of the fact that, with the flatbed and the tool box, the truck already weighs about 8000. I've hauled fuel like that a few times, it hardly makes the truck budge at all.

towed with the trailer? more than once I've hauled loads of lumber that were in the 9000# range, on a 7000# rated trailer....

did one of those trips over 500 miles... eep!

 

About 2000lbs of snowmobiles, sled deck, gear and gas. Makes the tractor ride niiiice .

 

THIS ALL Steel 33 foot trailer
WITH 150, 90# bales of hay in it , 45 miles
on a day last summer when it was 105*...even BLEW one of my grease caps off the axle

the trailer is all steel (I weighed it once but forget 'bout 3 ton) with a double floor and mats....didn't want to get stopped that day

 

275 gal water tote+ pressure washer and hoses in the bed, and a 10,000lb. trailer behind that. Sits about level with air bags @90psi.

 

only 800 pounds, not much hauling for me

 

This started out as a 6300# load of wet sand, but by the time I got home, I am sure I lost several hundred pounds. It was higher then the cab when I left the yard.

 

In the back of my 1500 I had a full pallet of mulch that had been out in the rain for a few days so it was soaked, and in my Dad's F-150 we put 60-ish wet bags of mulch as well. The most for my current truck in-bed weight would be like 400lbs so far plus toolbox, I haven't gotten the chance to load up anything big

 

caterpillar mini excavator w/ two buckets (+-5000 lbs), truck was good, tires werent really liking it.

 

The most at one time would be a full skid of 7/16"x4x8 OSB sheeting. I think it's around 70 sheets, not sure on the weight but somebody in here must know it? You got me wondering now, good excuse as any (to tell my wife) to head out to the Home Depot/Lowes store!

 

Two pallets of wood pellets. One ton each.

 

well this was not in the bed of my truck but it was 12,000 lbs on a 40 ft. gooseneck and let me tell say my truck should be good and broke in by now lol.

 

I have to ask now , is 6300 lbs of wet sand , heavier than 6300 lbs of dry sand?
