You don't need a dually

[Stang51d]

And this is why. Chevy, 2500, diesel. 39,000lbs. Handles it just fine.

Would have thought more tie downs would be used.

 

[Mounty09]

Do you do that everyday?

*6 Hours Later* Hey guys.. finally got back home... Sheared all of my lugs on both rear wheels 1/2 mile up the road after this picture was taken... anyone know a good Mechanic and someone with a Dually?

 

[IndyDave1776]

Do you do that everyday?

This is the first time I have seen him with rocks, but he hauls heavy equipment, bulldozers and such, with that truck and trailer on a regular basis. Maybe not daily in the absolute sense, but very regularly.

I should also add that if you didn't know he did this, you wouldn't realize it from riding in the truck. No unusual rattles or strange behavior. I attribute this more to his skill in working the truck without tearing it up than to the truck itself, but nevertheless, he isn't feeding anyone any BS about it being adequate.

I hope you have something between the rock and the strap.

 

[printcraft]

Nice job on getting them loaded.

When you get to your destination how do you get your rocks off?

 

[Aggar]

Does he have airbags on the rear?

 

[blackenedman]

I'd be pretty surprised if tires and/or rear axle is not overloaded

 

[Stang51d]

Most of the time, it's my TD-9h Dresser dozer that's on there. It will gross 36,000 with the dozer. Been pulling that dozer on that trailer for 11 years. From 05-13 with a 2500 dodge, now from 13-now with the Chevy. Chevy now has over 80,000 on it, mostly pulling this trailer with no real issues. Will unload them tomorrow, most likely with a Komatsu 270 loader with forks.

You'll wish you did, if you have a blowout doing 75 on the interstate

Yep, dot officers would have a hay day with that..
If you would have had a accident, it would have been boulders away.

Just about any full-size PU will pull it, its going down a 4% grade and you hit the brakes and you don't feel the trailer breaks is when you find out your truck a wee bit small, and you instantly wish you could trade your 3/4 ton for 2 1/2 ton international with air brakes.
I hope you never get pushed down the road by your dozer..
Gross tonnage always wins...

 

[blackenedman]

I realize it's the internet, and context is everything... But if you do this kinda hauling, for any considerable distance, I'm gonna file this under "things I wouldn't post on the internet"...

 

[BogWalker]

I thought this was going to be about the fact so many of the people I see driving duels have probably never even pulled anything.

 

[LEaSH]

Nice job on getting them loaded.

He just tosses them off.

 

[churchmouse]

If you are hauling a 45' Goose neck race trailer and rolling in terrain yes you need a dully to keep the truck stable. Not so much just for the GVW towing but again....it does help.

+1 on that , we pull horse trailers and I know the guys with dually's do better... I can only imagine hauling that much weight... That is a lot of weight for a 3/4 ton truck... especially when it comes to stopping.

 

[Leadeye]

Serious looking pieces of limestone on that trailer, major landscaping?

 

[Bigtanker]

Nice job on getting them loaded.

With his wife's help.

 

[SMiller]

Same rear axle and brakes between a single rear wheel and dually regardless of 3/4ton or 1ton.

That truck does NOT have airbags.

That is stupid to be doing that and puts everyone around him in harms way.

Flat stupid!

For those that asked yes the truck and trailer are both over weight, everything about it is illegal.
