Building a new arb truck

[silky fox]

Very good point Huck:thumbup:

[Mark Bolam]

2.7t here Huck, me, Stevo, Dutchie, and, to be honest, far too much gear.

It's less if we cleanse the footwell.

 

Still gives us 2t in the bed.

You never really know how loaded you are... Unless you get scales fitted

VOSA are very obliging when it comes to weighing trucks. They have a weigh in motion scale fitted on the M6 near us but for some obscure reason we never seem to drive past it in our Tranny and chipper.

All joking aside, I wonder what percentage of arb trucks are overloaded when they leave the yard in a morning?? Gear and lads can easily add up and the pay load of many trucks is pathetic.

 

Hi sky with all my sandwiches on in a big box soon be overweight thanks John

A word of advice PHAS. When reading ANYTHING that Bolam writes assume he's 'pulling Ya chain'. Then reread it because he might just be being serious.
