Exclamation Don't try this at home(stupidity alert)

Ok, this is such a flashback to when I was a kid it is not even funny.

Please note, this trailer has 2-2000# axles under it with car tires....

I went to the gravel pit and had them put in half a yard of 1 inch stone. mmmmmmm the truck with me in it was 4940 on the scale before the guy came with the loader and hit the pile of stones and then gradually added them to my truck . 7440 on the loaded scale . I have just a 1/2 ton long box 1985.

Okay a little over

You need at least two 3500# axles to haul a car or truck and an 18' trailer. You should also have trailer braker on trailer. Do not want to even think about what would happen if you had to stop to avoid something. The trailer and what you are hauling would just push you right into what you are trying to avoid. This is the only way I would haul a car or truck. Looks like that truck is about ready to fall off the back of this short trailer. Knowing he most likely has no brakes on the trailer. You are right -

Greetings all,

No, this trailer is not a boat trailer. it is a flatbed that the owner uses to haul his sandrail. It does have brakes though.

The truck was delivered with no hangups though. I will call a towtruck next time though I think.
