Hello folks. As a truck driver myself, I see these kinds of payloads often on the highways. they weigh around 100,000-500,000 pounds. I haul no where near that. I am only registered to weigh 80,000 pounds gross. In order to haul this kind of payload requires experience, patience, permits, and a lot of time. The truck usually does all the pulling. The engine at the rear powers the hydraulics which allows the operator with the controls to turn the payload around tight corners. The engine also supplies air for the brakes and suspension. I have seen these trucks in action and are amazing to watch. It is currently sitting on the ground to take the weight off the equipment when parked, performing repairs, etc. They are only allowed to drive during daylight hours. Each state they must travel through requires police escort and can only go on specific routes dictated by each state. While in motion, the bed is only between 6-12 inches off the ground
