Really

 

What is it you do?? Deliver polystyrene???

 

Hahaha

 

All the 3.5 tonners I've used, 90% of the time have either been empty or overloaded. It's just the way it is.

i have a crewcab transit, can only carry about 700kg, to be legal, i can say that i am never overloaded, at any time, wouldn't even cross my mind to overload my truck, never, never, never.

I have an LDV 3.5 tonne which legally carries about 900kg to 1000kg.... Guestimated.

 

I am an old mash it up in the back merchant and a full load of greenery up to top of greedy boards can put me over this weight. I know because I pay to tip via a weigh bridge.

 

A chipper chips... I forget .... say 4 times the volume of greenery into the same space. so even with a smallish load ... say a half load of chip and no logs you can be overloaded.

 

I'm quite good on what a truck load of greenery weighs as I guess it every time and get quite close once weighed. Its frightening to think what a full load of chip with some chogs on top might weigh.

 

I've noticed that some people are using smaller greedy boards and doing smaller loads of chip for this reason, or adopting the aforementioned barn doors approach.

 

edit: by greenery I mean the chippable component of the job

Last time I had my old LDV on a weigh bridge, I had 2.6 tonne of chip in the back
