He should have followed their advice and gotten a bigger truck!

Do have to give him credit for saving it tho'.

Bet the first thing he did when he got it stopped was change his underwear and then get out and get on his knees and say "Thanks" to the Man Upstairs.

But he broke that fence and crapped his pants probably.

That was a great save for sure.

Agreed- I don't see the point in mentioning weight police at all other than to be rude and pick a fight. But, at least there weren't the idiotic "anti-diesel" comments for a change.

The problem wouldn't have occurred in the first place if he had been using a gasser because he wouldn't have been going as fast.
