The Formula

74 X 2500 = 185,000/2000 = 92.5 Tons

Ok so I'm only taking a guess at the total weight of this long load.
I'm pretty good a figuring out what stuff is also, but this load has me stumped....go figure huh.
I would bet it's on the way to Fort Mac and it may be the swing frame for a big shovel.
The "Formula" is a estimated total weight of the load to make it legal.
So if someone can shed some light on this load let us know.....
Also notice the "Weight Box" over the drivers to give the truck some traction.

Oversized for sure! Nice shot!!! I agree with Steve, knowing my luck the stuff on the back would break loose and crush me!

That's a wide and heavy load Mike. Great perspective and lighting.

Yeah! And like 56 tires on this rig! Hard to get a clear count - but it looks like 18 tandems + the steering and booster axle! I would love to be the guy selling them tires!

Oversize is putting it mildly!

I can tell you what it is Mike - it's a truck I wouldn't want to be behind on the highway. It is very well captured though.
