      The biggest issue with the hauler is it is very overweight!! (Like weighs 90,000) . That is a nightmare with DOT. There are other issues but legal weight is numero uno. Whose fault was that, who knows.

        He could always put smaller diameter door bars in his cars to save weight.

            What type/brand of hauler is he using now? Is it a new one or used? Last I heard or read was when he was borrowing someone else's while this disco hauler was in the shop.

                That was only in Ricky Weiss’s car because it was older, and the one Bronson had, which was Jared’s. Before the new rules were implemented, and then they never changed them. I think Bronson should go cry on Mark’s shoulder some more, maybe he’ll eventually become competitive like Ricky.

                  And he coulda done that with an S&S one too. Maybe it was a friend of Randy’s, dunno. If I could ever catch him at a good time I’d ask him why they chose that company over S&S etc.

                    I knew most were from someone I know who has an S&S. I always assumed they are overkill, but they are actually heavy. Though I don’t think 90k heavy.

                    And if that thing weighs around 90k, it should have never left TX. Another issue is axle weight. It’s why you have to pay attention to how you load. Ohio at least, most don’t load heavy, but you don’t want everything near the front. As far as dump trunks you want it middle to back. But if you are axeled, your GVW will be good, and your axle weight will not. Kinda shady imo.

                          No way those haulers weigh 90k pounds. That’s laughable. A standard dry van 18 wheeler is 35k to 40k with an empty load. A fully loaded toter wouldn’t touch 80k.

                            Well, you’re incorrect, I dunno what to tell you. A S&S is around 80k(loaded), out of the horses mouth.

                            If Scott had one built by someone who doesn’t build them, and they went heavy, it adds up. And any other special crap he wanted in it.

                              CnB, that’s cool. I just don’t see how they are up 80k, 65 to 70k seems more reasonable weight to me. When you get close to 80k you really flirting with going over axle weights.

                              I’ve hauled some 80k GVW loads before, it’s like driving a tank.
