Why trucks are better than motorhomes

[noteven]

I have seen a Kenworth 🇺🇸 400”  Lennox 🇨🇦 rigged bed truck with triple frame rails not counting the bed itself,  tandem Sisu 🇫🇮 40 ton planet rear axles, 50 ton Chalmers 🇨🇦 rear suspension Bridgestone 🇺🇸  🇯🇵 14R24 rear moccasins on OTR 🇨🇦 wheels, twin steer axles on Bridgestone🇺🇸🇯🇵 445R22.5 front moccasins, with that sweet 20 ton Kenworth 🇺🇸slipper spring suspension, and 4 steering gears, 18spd 🇺🇸and 4 spd 🇺🇸auxiliary, C15 Cat🇺🇸

that weighs 80,000 lbs by itself sitting there full of fuel, cables on and rigging...

back up and winch a drilling rig “pump shack” 🇨🇦 onto itself to “tailboard it” which is carry it on the live roll at the rear of the bed at an angle with the front held a bit up in the air connected to the winch line down a half mile muddy track to “spot it” precisely where it belongs on site.

The pump “shack” weighed 120,000lbs. 

All I could think of was: “He must be over his door sticker - 367lbs over on the steers and 873lbs over on the rear, at least . He should have had a dually. Good thing the RV forum Weight Police 🇺🇸don’t have jurisdiction in Alberta 🇨🇦we would be done for...” 😁
