Over-size, over-weight truck test

More than 25-year ago, an extensive on-the-road test proved what we know all too well today: bigger trucks are too heavy, too long and too dangerous.

Here's an idea! Get the hell out of a truckers way and let them do their job!

The turnpike doubles look like the most efficient combination. We should have more of those on the road. Sorry railroads, I know you hate them.

if the load was properly secured in the turnpike, the pallets wouldn't have shifted

I find this video extremely calming and sleep-inducing

I`m sorry but blaming a LCV for the dangers is the same as blaming a hand gun for being dangerous . how about teaching four wheelers how to operate their cars or trucks when sharing the highways with a semi truck ? Its really not that hard to share a road with a truck . just be 10% smarter than the car or truck you are driving .. thats all we ask . we will stay right and you just drive safe and leave a lot of room . seems easy to me .

i dont really see this as RR propoganda. as the driver of a heavy vehicle myself, its extremely dangerous with 1 trailer nevermind 2 , 3 or more with our montainous terrain.

I love the guy just throwing stuff up on the pallets. No shink wrapping it and probably no load bars and straps between the pallets. No load line just pile it up to the roof and wonder why when you slam on the breaks the shit comes flying through the side of the trailer...

Aussies simply laugh at the douchewaffles that don't want triples and extra-long trailers on US roads.
