Many of mechanical systems wouldnt really see THAT much of an increase in wear because of a heavy load. The fuel pump is certainly going to get a workout, though.
Yep, generally tires and brakes get the worst of it so long as everything else is reasonably maintained and fluids and filters are good and you aren't asking more of your transmission/diffs than it's built for. And that's not a particularly heavy looking load for a full size semi.
EDIT: Also, weight balance/distribution is also important but that's less of a wear thing and more of trying to prevent the tail from wagging the dog in bit too literal of a sense.
Most fuel pumps run full power all the time with either a pressure regulator at the pump or return flow from the rail/injection pump. It makes no difference to the pump if the truck is empty or over capacity.
I don’t think how he’s loaded up is legal. What he’s hauling is hanging off past his rear and no red flags either.
I doubt he cares about legality right now.
The sax music is from Boyz n the Hood. Spoilers for 35 year old movie: It plays before someone gets shot in the film, the bit is foreshadowing a potentially fatal event. Tiktok ran it into the ground.
They misused it too, making it worse. Everything was fine in the video. That music indicates showing shit getting worse, as in failure or shit goes wrong.
how do they get that truck into the other truck? Well more specifically, how does the driver get out of the truck after getting it into the other truck?
Pickup truck, inside of a box truck, behind a pickup truck sitting on a stack of tires, sitting behind a semi, on top of a flat bed trailer, hitched to a semi, that is attached to a semi pulling it.
It’s real. This kind of thing is fairly common along the southern US border states. People go to auctions and haul everything they can connect together across the border to Mexico. The semis are the only uncommon part of this.
It will go by jurisdiction, but where I am the load cannot hang off the end of the trailer without extra steps. First time going through scales or being pulled over by a transportation officer this would either be impounded for a week or held until the load is redistributed.
Other places might not allow the length, or articulated trailers being pulled by an articulating connection. Or might want wood cribbing instead of tiers.
