Put something really heavy right in the middle instead of over the wheels.

Also, I can’t remember the last time I saw a cab over semi on the roads

Over loaded trailer. It’s even more fun when you drive a hi lo on one and it unzips as we day.

Btw Ups has the junkiest trailers I’ve ever seen. Refused to drive on to more than one.

Was about to say the same thing. I haven’t seen one in a while.

I see them with some regularity in the El Paso/Las Cruces area. I haven’t seen one with US plates on it in a long time, but they’re still in use with some Mexican companies. I suspect they’re mostly doing local work between suppliers on the US side, the factories on the Mexican side and the distribution hubs back on the US side again. I can’t imagine that the economics of a truck that old would really support using them for much in the way of regional or long-haul work on this side of the border.

They are pretty common in the Central California farming areas if I remember right.

That wouldn’t surprise me. I could imagine the short wheelbase could be an advantage in that application, and an inefficient, old truck might not matter much for going between fields and a local processing plant when needed at harvest.
