What to do when your are around someone over loaded

[tgrfan2]

So, I'm cruising to work up I-35w. I see this F150 with I think a 16' toy hauler type, but it's for work, so I'm assuming it full of tools and not 4wheelers. I didn't catch the name on the truck, but it was a company deal.



Anyways, the F150 was loaded in the bed and I'm sure not loaded correctly in the trailer. The truck was sitting on it's bump stops! If it was at night, he would be shinning his headlights on the stars! It was stop and go traffic, but I should has heck wouldn't wanna be around this guy, in snowy roads, at 55mph.



What do you do about these morons? Calling the cops and make sure they get pulled over and checked about all that one can do?



I'm all about not being careful! That's me, crazy.



If it is one of those new F150s with a 9000#+ GVW I wouldn't worry at all. You know Ford wouldn't screw up! I would pass him as fast as I could just in case parts start flying though!

Imagine if we all went around looking for someone to turn in. Maybe George Orwell's negative utopia, (1984) will start right here with the TDR weight police.

I understand the need to serve and protect, but this forum

sometimes borders on paranoid. I probably would have flashed my lights at the

offender though.

I see overloaded trucks all too often. Usually hauling firewood. Hwy Patrol leaves them alone. My guess is there are few accidents as the drivers are use to driving like that. They take it pretty easy.

:-laf If I'm pulling a trailer, I'm going around the speed limit anyhow... so unless there's grandma and grandpa in the Winebago doing 35 in a 55, I'm not usually passing anyone.

You sir, scare me.

If you think it is bad here, go over to Open Roads Forum!

You know, you will never win (or resolve) a thread that has anything to do with weight, or how much is too much. However, I did hear a funny analogy the other day that reminds me of contributers in a weight related thread.
