OT pickup load of firewood

Kirk-NJ · Oct 26, 2018

The ad must have said. One price for as much firewood you could fit in your pickup bed.

I had a neighbor who had a sawmill and he sold cut-to-length slabs for a modest price of so much for a pickup load and he saw extreme abuse of pickup trucks. It seems they did not mind blown out tires.

Saw a couple guys load up a 1970's vintage F-350 dualie cab/chassis flatbed truck with 6 ft tall sides heaped way up above the sides like that with 100 pound bags of potatoes. 10,000 pounds, 100 bags! Truck was probably only rated for 10,000# gross.

AN hour after they left, I was done with work, jumped in my '78 F-150 and cruised home, about a 20-25 mile drive. About 6-8 miles from home there's a really rough railroad crossing, 2-3 sets of tracks, then a stop sigh for a busy state road. Just down the state road 100-150 feet sat that F-350 minus the left rear wheels, brake drum, wheel hub. The end of the full floating axle had broken off just inside the wheel bearings from the excessive over-loading. One of the guys who loaded the truck was rolling the missing wheels & hub back up the far side of the road a good 500 feet down road, looked like he had already rolled the wheels quite a ways before I saw him.

So you guys all remember there are limits on what you can haul. Those numbers on the sticker on the driver's door are there for a reason.
