Personal experience-hire a dump truck.... I have a 16' utility trailer with dual 3500lbs axles. I went to the local cement plant to buy some of their aggregate (rocks) for our driveway. The clerk said how much-I said dont know-I'm just in life for the adventure. He said "How about 2 yards?" I said "Yeah, Thats about a front end loader full." He said "Yeah." Well I go back out to the lot, and stand by my borrowed 1/2 Ford F-150 that belongs to my brother, pulling our 16' trailer. Not much later, guess what pulls up-the biggest damn front end loader Caterpillar ever made, with bucket struck full of river rock aggregate (about1/2"to1" rock). Well, the operator, motioned to the trailer, and dumbfounded I just nodded back. I didnt know metal made such loud noises under stress. The the wheels met the top of the fenders, and the pickups springs were flattened out. The nose of the pickup was pointing nearly straight up. I barely made it home, I was only about 2 miles from home-luckily, hire a dump truck. Ed
