Chris Sunkin's worst nightmare
saw this on hwy 69 today and just had to get a picture.. the truck sounded like a 1970 GRAIN TRUCK screamin down the highway...
Maybe this is the guy that can deliver anysize boat anywhere in the U.S. for $1/mile.. When I passed him he looked white as a ghost and definately in over his head. I wonder how in the HOLY hell he got the thing up the ramp! (or back down it!)
It was a 4wd 4cyl toyota pickup.. 80's model.. you could hear the transmission screaming as you passed the third axle on the trailer, thats how loud it was..

i think he meant the truck weighs 3/4's of a ton.. hahaha.. we had one of those back in the day and tried to load an engine in the back of it and the tires were rubbing on the body. i think it has a payload of about 800 lbs (if that)

He should be OK. He's not going very far and he's being really careful. And, he doesn't do it very often.
My favorite part is the "WIDE LOAD" banner. My guess is he picked that up right after he pulled the oversize permit for the haul.
