Looks like a legal load to me. It's a heavy-duty (multi-axle) trailer being towed by a pickup truck. Neither look especially over-burdened by the task. In case you're unaware, drivers can tow, or operate vehicles capable of hauling inside, loads up to 25,000 to 35,000-lbs (depending on state). The larger U-haul trucks, for example, are rated at 24-28,000-lbs. The larger U-haul trailers are rated at 8-10,000-lbs. Large RV trailers can weigh 15,000-lbs or more.
@stewartx5 Yes and the axle was bowed due to the load. How many times I find a trailer left on the roadway with garbage and a broken axle... left there with the tags removed until DPS tows them away. If you are going to argue, use common sense. There is a limit.They say drivers can tow a weight to 35,000# it does not mean that particular trailer can take it. Not to mention the garbage that falls out onto the roadway.
funny my dad drove me thru that area and he kept complaing of how bumpy and messed up thee roads were there. Sad that area around Sharpstown used to be nice now its ghetto.
Um, if you are going to try to insult me get it right. It is Ass Wipe, not Wiped ass. And this coming from a 22 year old pot head. Yea buddy. I am impressed.
You called me a smart ass for talking about 'width' when neither I nor Transportation Code 621.101 mentioned 'width'! I do not understand your reasoning.
I'll bet you did not even know the total weight had to be more than 17 tons when you called this the "road hazard from hell".
You have convinced me that you had no objective reason to call this the "road hazard from hell", or to be so certain that the driver was an alien.
P.S. It is impossible to violate TC 621.101subsection c.
First when I did the search for 621.101 for some reason it came back showing 621.201 which pertained to height. My Bad. But your 621.101 refers to agriculture not building waste. Thus this trailer still doesn't fall within these guidelines. I called it the road hazard from hell because of the wheels bowing and the axel bowing. I guess I could get a $200 dual axel thingy from Home depot that has a GVW of approx 600# and load 17 tons on it also under your guidelines.
Your point was that this was a "road hazard from hell".
You did not see blinkers on some other vehicles that turned, but did not complain about them. It was not clear from the video that they were actually braking, so not seeing brake lights means nothing. Not having tags or plates is hardly a "road hazard from hell".
What did you see that made you think they were violating Transportation Code 621.101?
Well, let me see, the trailer is overloaded thus a road hazard. We didn't see any break lights, blinkers etc when he breaked or turned so these were not hooked up, and no tags were on the trailer. That is three statutes that were broken. Even if you over look the insanely overload on the trailer, their are two offenses he could have easily been ticketed for. will that do?
I will also like to point out I have seen two such trailers left on 45 north near the Woodlands/Spring. They stayed there about two weeks for one and one week for the other. Both full of building debris. Both with broken axels. They were finally towed off by law enforcement as they themselves had become trash like their contents. So just left for our tax dollars to clean up. Just unhooked and left. No tag to trace.
