I thought I'd done well a few years back when I weighed in 3.5 tonne off the back of Cabstar. I feel like a proper amateur now.

Those old twin headlight Cabstars could take some weight. Once they were sat on the bumpstops you could load what you liked.

My “best ever” was 3 ton of loose carrots. I did have greedy boards on. :)

Im not the overload plod inforcer, but I thought it was ment to be self regulated.  Ie if cops pull you and find your over you legal wieght they do the place that overloaded you as well. I guess two fines and not much more work for the proceeds.

so the loading place should not knowingly overload you.. unless it’s your mate  loading...?

I really don’t mind who does what to there vehicle, after all vehicles are designed to take more wieght than the max plated weights. ?

These were members of the travelling community, do the law did not apply to them!
