Vey cool, tandem axle chip trucks are very rare up here, on big removals I have seen two bucket trucks and one chip truck filled, probably about what your truck will take on its own. That would make a good short log truck too, once in a while. You will never get an overload fine with chips.

good truck. Looks great too. Just have to have a guy with a CDL to drive it. If always having a person around that is certified to operate the vehicle wasnt a problem then a truck like that is a great.

EDIT: I doubt a truck like would be too top heavy. These big guys often can hold 15-18 tons. I used to hold like 2 tons in my old truck and this thing cant hold more than 5 times what my truck did.
