they make good bases for the bigger bench grinders. Turn them over for a small fire pit.

Does that thing have brakes or do we depend on the trucks brakes to stop it! Sure doesn't look like any thing inside the wheels in the picture.

Yup ^^^, and you'll need to up the license on the truck for the extra GVW.

Woo-Hoo!! I can't wait for the tandem and triaxle versions! I got a Toyota 1 tonner that's running a little overloaded most of the time!

"if" more like "when" , it gets out of hand, that is just waiting to happen
The place i work part time is in the center of i think the biggest Amish settlement there is we also have several other like meninites . The Amish dont drive so they hire people to haul them some are good people but some are people that couldnt work at a regular job then some are people that like the Amish way of life and want to be close to them but not give up there way of life . The Amish and there drivers have never been around equipment hauling and think they know better . A few years ago the church started letting Amish have skidsteers?? The place i work is the only gas station within a 11 mile radius on any given day you will see something that makes you wonder how they made it there?

That's not right.

The dump truck is a heavy haul on the move in Western Australia, the number plate on the Toyota Prado is a W.A. plate.
That's the way we move the big trucks here - on platform trailers, we've got minimum restrictions on the heavy haul routes, all the roadside trees are cut back, and the National Hwy standard width is 8 metres of seal, plus about another 4 metres of shoulder at minimum - and if the rig takes up the whole highway, the oversize escort goes ahead and stops the traffic at a spot where they can all get off onto the shoulder.
Here's some I snapped in my highway travels - the last ones were parked up in a big truck bay, don't know why they left them there overnight, and took the trucks away, must have been some reason, but I didn't find out. Possibly because they were close to home, and didn't want to camp out.
The wheels are off the last ones to keep the height down. Some of the routes have little height restrictions, the authorities have either lifted wires to over 6 metres, or they find a detour that avoids wires.
Plus, all the trailers have hydraulic suspension, with a hyd power pack on the trailer, you can lower the trailers right down if necessary, to squeeze under obstructions.

I'll guess the empty bus is 19000 LBS. Trailer is 8000. 27000 is a big load for the truck. I wouldn't be surprised if it's legal. I can't estimate the rating of the trailer, 4 tires or 8?

I would expect that-having a population of 26.5 million and the flattest, driest continent.
U.S. population 331 million with X amount of mountain ranges.

I'd hate to try to keep up with the tires on that multi axle transporter trailer. Especially loaded up, going across the outback in some scorching heat. Ain't no roadside tire service out there. You can see stacks of tires on two of the necks.
