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'm glad i was'nt on the road today , what a whack job

HOLY $HIT BATMAN !!!!! That guys got a 3/4 ton truck pulling that whole phuckin load, and it's a short bed truck too. Wonder if it's got brakes? :hitfan:

Hey Chris, what'ya think that thing weighs???

i wish i had video'ed it as i passed him.. he really was white knuckled.. you could hear the tranny SCREAMING and i passed him at roughly 72mph so he had to of been goin 65+ with that thing..

3/4ton? That looks like a little ass nissan or something

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)

....yea but he is only going a couple miles down the road and that is ok right??? :angry-smiley-038::evilb::grinser010::D

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.

uh, negative.. he had texas plates on the truck and was in northeast oklahoma!

He probably stole it off of somebody elses load. What a moron. What hitch do you think he's using? Bumper or class 1?

i looked when i went by, it was a receiver style hitch, not attached to the bumper.. it had pretty neutral tongue weight. the boat was easily a 45' x 11 or 12 wide. my superduty woulda known it was back there, thats for sure..

Man we see that stuff all the time. I bet you would have more of a chance getting pulled over for not wearing your seatbelt than pulling something like that. If you see this again please call the state police and ask for the DOT officer on duty.

as exciting as it would be to see him get pulled over and gone through, theyd be more interested in me.. I pull hazmat small loads on a flatbed truck.. we are an easy target for DOT because they can see everything we have on board without having to move any other freight.. they use us to meet their quota.. so i avoid calling DOT and asking for the officer on duty.. makes my day so much smoother..

of course i guess i could call anonymous

You're right !! My first glance at it, I thought the truck was a 1500 or 2500 chevy shortbed, probably because of the tires sticking out the wheel well openings. Now that I looked again a little closer, it DOES look like a nissan or an izzu or some other little $hitbox.

What a menace to all the other traffic on the highways. :(

that truck should be used to block the tires. think he killed the zebras before launching?

Excuse me sir, do you have any fruits or vegetables?

I cant believe people get away with that! That is friggin way beyond "pushing" the limit!~

Scary..... Must of been heading to Arkansas.


Where is Buck anyway?:evilb:

:eek::eek::eek::eek:i would not belive you if i didn't see the picture:D

That's definitely calling-the-cops-worthy. Though I can understand why you wouldn't want to. :D

There's pushing your limits, and then there's just plain old stupid. This is an example of just plain stupid. :eek:

:D.

How he ever got the whole train rolling in the first place is beyond me...

Thats hillarious. That truck is not even a 1/2 ton.

That looks like an older 36 foot cabin cruiser that's gotta weigh at least 15,000 lbs OR MORE.

I bet the Toyota had a six banger, now a NO BANGER cause it blew up.

Wannabe

towing a big load with a little truck is perfectly normal and acceptable...in MEXICO!

Sydwayz would be perfectly happy towing that as it was fully strapped down and I'm sure the driver had on his lanyard.

at least it was a 3 axle trailer!

I have restored a few Willys so I have a mechanics manual for 1948. There are charts for towing up to 40,000 pounds. It is primarily intended for slow towing on farms with no tongue weight (hay racks) but the motors are 63 hp 131c.i.

As long as he's got airbags, he's all good. :evilb:
