Think we were heavy the other day .
full load here.
That second pic looks like some of the log trucks I saw up in Maine. I couldn't believe the way full trees were hanging out both sides of the trailer. Down here in New yuck they would have gotten impounded!
The first thing I thought of was the diaper thing when I saw this thread...lol

Im sure you all have seen this one before, but these old pacific trucks always have impressed me. I got this photo off an image search, but if you go to hankstruckpictures.com, he has a bunch of cool photos of these pacifics

I've seen trucks like that coming out of the woods. Neat and darn scary at the same time!
Here's one from the archives:

And another to prove it was no fluke:

oh man did I see one yesterday wish I would have thought to take a picture west bound on Hyw 11 between Juda and Monroe, Wisconsin , 1/2 ton chevy , they took some big card board and stuck it down below the sides of the bed they had tie down straps from each side they had wood stacked higher than the cab from the back window to the tail gate the saw and gas can tucked into the back near the tip of the tail gate with would piled around , but wait there is more rear tires squatting and front end up in the air they also had a little harbor freight type trailer with side boards about 3 foot high and it was stacked a good 18 inches over the top of the side boards I was surprised they were going as fast a sthey were about 40 with the 4ways on and a line of cars stacking up behind them till it went to 2 lanes.
I have a tenancy to stack my F150 a little heavy and put a 14 foot trailer behind it also stacked a little heavy but they were impressively overloaded.

There are very few things quite as satisfying as getting a full load or all in one trip......
As expected, looks like it took the truck plus the trailer to haul all the splits from the logs that the trailer carried, even if the shrapnel accumulated during the splitting was left behind. That's been my experience also.
Back in my heyday, I didn't consider a 'full load' at anything less than half a rack.
?? lets see now, if I remember a half rack was a 12 pack right ?? lol and the other rack is in the cooler chilling off!
