Its a half ton fleet and they are subject to a ton of random on road inspections up here. If it was overloaded were talking by maybe a couple hundred pounds at the most and not consistantly or even regularly. I've done this job in the past and 90% of the time you are carrying bulky light stuff. Any of the heavy items, crates etc would be handled by the 2-5ton trucks (this is a huge local shipper). Keep in mind that both trucks failed in under 6mo. They are just working pups no more no less.

If they were overloaded it was nowhere near the amount we overload our minis and nowhere near the abuse level. It would be the amount of abuse any work truck sees on a construction site. I'll try to get you pics just to make you feel better lol.

Here's another factor to consider. Up here Ford Dodge and Chev all have a ton of stock sitting on their lots so they are practically giving them awayat prices close to $10k+ less then a Toyota add to that the 0% interest and possibly qustionable quality standards of the new toys and it makes pretty good sense to buy domestic now. Its kinda funny for me to be saying this cause I am the last person to buy anything but a Toy and here I am (buying and older Toy lol).
