Update Log
June 17, 2018: Added by Luke; Collapsed June 14th, 2018 due to overweight tractor
Posted June 17, 2018, by Clark Vance (cvance [at] dogmail [dot] com)
The newspaper story said 1000 bushels of wheat in the trailer. I used to figure 60lb per bushel so 60k, 30T plus trailer and tractor.
Street view shows a sign posting tractor trailer combos max 17T, so probably the driver's insurance and ultimately the price of bread.
One summer years ago I hauled wheat and I remember the sense of urgency to get to the elevator and back, and a feeling of invulnerability when driving the back roads. I think if I had known anyone who had broken through I would have been more cautious.
