I get 6 barrow bags or 2 90x90 builders bags on mine and and just load up the trailer now with 12 or 6, all these pickups with greedy boards would be getting pulled round here and checked coz we have no rapes robbery's or murders to keep the rozzers busy. Had to have the spare wheel removed and the carrier cut off to reduce weight and we can only run 3/4 of a tank of fuel or risk being overloaded, I would guess 2 cube loads is putting you on the edge if not into the overloaded region. time you take the crew and the tank of fuel off your payload capacity you don't get much.

I can't see 2m3 of logs pushing most pickups overweight. Having had a look at a few most can take a 1000 kg+. To be over that you would have some very soggy logs or possibly a very fat driver

I was told they only allow 65 or 70kg for a driver and an empty fuel tank my .73m bags at 15%mc come in at 280kg or there abouts so 373kg per 1m3 746kg for your 2 cube + a tank of fuel diesel weighs around 1.9lbs a litre and I guess 90-100kg for an average person these days. then there's any tools kicking about which soon eat up your allowance easiest way though is for a trip to the weighbridge and let us know just how much spare capacity you have.

 

a driver 95kg

fuel 20 gallons is 65.64kg

logs 746kg

 

907kg so you should be fine like that but if your logs are coming in 20 25%mc or you have a passanger you could be screwed should they weigh you.
