I don't see wha problem with that unit if the trailer was empty it probably wasn't all that heavy and it looks as though he had brakes and lights rigged up.

Why is it always a Canadian? Almost makes me want to move.

All good, its a 1-7/8th ball.

I seen something similar between Winnipeg and the border. A 1 ton Dodge hauling grain in a similar fashion.

Most likely ,just that he didn't have a B&W hitch. 😛

Wow..just wow. Why would you go thru the trouble of rigging an air tank and that "hitch" when you could have hired someone to move the trailer? I bet the fines are more than paying a legit OTR owner/operator.

Here's an Article About The Incident.

The traffic stop was in Canada. It didn't say what charges were filed.
A different article said the driver was charged for an oversize load violation.

With air bags he would have been good to go IMO!
