..............................Wow.

How about that Chevy truck?

"Like a rock, I was strong as I could be

"Like a rock, carryin the weight

Like a rock... Kee-RACK!!!

;D

What was he gonna do with it if he got it home ? Whittle something ?

Nice, instead of the hitch breaking, the frame broke! Love those GM trucks!

Where's Howie Long? What a tool.

Howie better bring some tools to get that thing right again..

What a dumb@$$!!!

Thats special right there.

Thanks for the laugh Burley..... ;D

Chevy, Ford, Dodge, Toyota, whatever brand had nothing to do with the stupidity involved there. He'll probably be a Darwin Award winner before too long. :

Howie is a tool though.

Not surprised, pickup isn't designed for that kind of hauling.  Trailer too low and tires too small, needed MH duty tractor with split axle  and a flatbed trailer

...at least it gets better gas mileage than Toyota and doesn't have hand warmers in the steering wheel like Dodge... ;D

shoulda bought a toyota

actually if they had the log centered on the wheels and not all the way upfront i wouldnt doubt it would of actually held it.

I can't see the entire trailer but it appears as there is no front axle, without minimal support of a front Axel the front of the trailer would have to sag putting enormous strain.  The log is sizeable, how much it weighs I don't know, as I can't see how big the hi lo is.  I'm going to give some credit and hope they were at least going to strap it down to prevent any side roll.

I don't know anything about pick up trucks, but I thought the hitch was always welded to the frame, not sure why the box was pulled loose, but not my field of expertise.  I owned steel hauling tractors and trailers so I know a little something about hauling loads.

Looks like in the long run would have been way cheaper to hire a professional to move it in the first place.

Yep Like a Rock! - Stays Still and Cant Move - Got ta Love GM.

There are more pics in the link that Burley put up.   The log is only about 10' long and if they had centered it over the axles and side to side it wouldn't have been a problem.  Alomost the entire log is in front of the axles.  That trailer has two 3500-4000 lb axles on it and would have held along with the truck.
