In our town there is a local "farmer" that feeds his hogs with left-over scraps, old fryer oil, elevator screenings...anything that is free.
He always drives around with a pickup loaded with 55 gal. barrels filled with these give-aways. You can spot him 3 blocks away, because the truck bed is just about hanging on the ground due to broken springs.
Over the past years, he has probably had at least 4-5 different used pickups...yet within just a couple of months, his "new" truck is already dragging it's rear.
I know this does not have a lot to do with your question of a static load, but I've always found this situation interesting.
