I thought I would start a thread I bet we could keep going to showcase ridiculous loads we see out there.
Here is #1. Dually pickup towing what appears to be a full size or nearly full size school bus. It was going nearly highway speed downhill but slowed to a crawl up this small hill. Poor quality pictures grabbed by passenger, not enough road to get far enough away to get the full rig in the frame.

I think you are wrong. You failed to see what this is. This is a redneck camper. They are exempt from all sorts of regulations. No CDL needed.Both combinations above would require a CDL anywhere in the US according to the Fed Rules - unless of course it was government then they exclude themselves from their rules.
Both trailers look to be min 18K GVW hooked to a 9K+ GVW single axle and 13K+ dually - no getting under 26K GCWR.
I bet he's not far out of tow rating. I don't know what the trailer is rated for, can't even see how many tires. I'd guess the bus weighs 14,000-15000, allow 6000 for trailer, 20000-21000
My 410C with Ehoe weighs 17400View attachment 232360
Jd 410 with extendahoe I have scale ticket that puts that model like that at 22 thousand plus pickup and trailer they are way over combined gvwr and a new model 710 with a cab is just shy of 29000 a friend broke his 15 ton tilt after a 710 on it every day for about a year busted frame
That gooseneck bends any farther, the jack foot is going to drag.How about a homemade tri- axle with trailer house axles?

My friend now gone bought a Ford Golden Jubilee with a shop built backhoe. A rear differential housing was broken, so he didn't put the hoe back on when he repaired it.
I was trying to figure out where this should go, this thread works as good as any.
Really needs to work on his welding and operating skills.
Wow, he better not try to turn!Here is one I just saw on a Facebook group. No info as to where it came from.

Some of those buss loads of fat kids get pretty heavy.
I stand corrected. I'd have said they were similar chassis to my Top Kick. My empty truck with dump body is 13700, me in it.I knew that would come up so I went to our local school district school bus garage and looked at two 2005 GMC class C buses. Unladen weight on both buses was 23,400.
