My friends and I did a little math... The weight of the load, including the pallets, scaffolding, and tiedowns, is probably just a little over 3000lbs. However, around 2000lbs of that appears to be behind the rear axle, with about 1/3 of the total load net leveraged against the front of the truck. So, whereas the front wheels might usually have 2000lbs apiece on them, they're probably down to about 1200-1500lbs on each wheel. Not too bad, but expect reduced steering traction, especially on any sort of grade.

What I would give to see this particular load have to perform an emergency stop - one of those real time physics programs would be neat

2 parts guts, 1 part don’t give a fuck, 1 part lazy as fuck to make extra trips?
