Normally I would've but the house is on the market and it's got viewings next week and the bit what's been added looked untidy so wanted it doing ASAP plus its for a care company that I get a fair amount of work from

None of that is your problem. They extended the size of the job, then they pay the extra charges for transport, even if they pay you to make two trips instead of one.

For what it's worth, all your efforts will go unnoticed with your client, and it really won't generate any further work.

A transit Jack, put a ton in the transit and tow a ton on a trailer.

Jack, just buy yourself a Tractor and Trailer.

The country is full of them doing NFG transport of all kinds, and you’ll be able to get a kid to drive it to save a bit more.?

I think it would be fair to say we’ve all carried a bit too much at times in the past to get a job finished and had a giggle about it.

You evolve and learn though. Take on big jobs you need capable kit. To massively overload on a regular basis never ends well.

Seems as if this thread has had one load too many and failed spectacularly.

To be fair you seriously put your and others lives at risk and you see no problem with that. The severity of your overloading has been manifest in a broken Spring, but you just laugh it off as 'shock loading'. Its not so much the picture you posted its your attitude and ignorance.

The only reason I have this apparent attitude is because there's about 7 or 8 pages of folk going on about it as though I'm the only one who's posted a overloaded vehicle not 1 other person had this sort of response most folks problem is with me since I posted about a doley working for cash that's when

Jack we've all done it (at least) most of us have, but being overloaded by a massive amount on a regular basis isn't on, bigger truck needed, or more trips, your choice. If you end up in court the choice is out of your hands, a shit situation to be in.

Well Ive read the other pages and my comment stands. You need to take a long hard look at yourself before you kill someone. Theres one thing posting a pic of an over loaded load then there's what you do. Its not apples and apples, its a whole different ball game. And your attitude to what you seem to have no intention of stopping is appalling. Luckily for you your reg number is not shown, or you'd have the Old Bill knocking sooner than you'd think.
