Stacks were swaying left to right, guy going 20 over, truck was overloaded and in rough shape... This can’t be legal right?!

It’s non-DOT truck, so it technically might be legal if the load is properly secured.

Someone once gave me a big screen tv - not the flat ones... but the big non tube tvs. TV came with a big stand to hold the tv.
I shoved the TV in the back of my Infiniti QX4 suv and put the stand on the roof. Tied it up. Took off.
Was going a hair bit fast. State trooper pulled me over. Basically told me that if it wasn’t for that giant stand on my roof, he probably would have not even bothered pulling me over, but because of it, he was concerned it would fall off and kill someone.
Sure. It was secure... but I’ve seen even most secure things fail.
Bottom line here... that thing is way overloaded. If one of those crates falls off and hurts a snail, there will be hell to pay

He likely doesn’t have a dash cam. Show him the folly of his ways by brake checking him.

You don’t make huge stacks by following the law

In general it’s only illegal if you get caught

I ask myself that every day. But this kind of thing is so common here, no one bats an eye.

No, driving 20 over is typically not legal.

Hard to see but a 1996-98 GMC K1500 pulling a massive trailer thats overloaded. Funniest part was right behind it was a 2003-08 2500 Ram with pallets like above. Not sure why the 2500 wasnt pulling.
HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles

You were very brake to stay behind it long enough to take this picture. I would have dropped a few gears and GTFO

That’s probably not technically overloaded. Average wooden pallet weighs 30 lbs. I count 40 pallets total. 1200lbs. Add a 250lb driver and another 50lbs misc. that’s 1500 lbs.
A ~1990 F-150 supercab has a GVWR of 6250 lbs, with a curb weight of ~4500. That gives a total payload capacity of about 1750 lbs.
edit; I forgot to add the other four pallets strapped to the sides of the one stack. Add another 120lbs for a total payload of 1620, still have some wiggle room to spare.

I see a 98+ body F150 longbed doing this all the time stacked double wide. Technically I guess it’s legal but like others mentioned, I don’t stick around long enough to see what happens.

Whether or not it’s legal I would not hang around behind him any longer than absolutely necessary. Yikes.

In Florida? Probably. In NY? Probably not. Depends on the state. Got a new windshield in Arkansas once because no flaps are required on certain trucks’ rear wheels. Where you live makes a difference.

Looks like a gooseneck trailer, maybe the Ram didn’t have a hitch for it.

Typical, when you want a cop they are nowhere to be found.
