Overloaded or wrong truck?

Even if it's overloaded, it's within a 1000 lbs of GVW. That's less then 10%. I've NEVER seen a properly designed frame fail with such a slight overload. We're not talking a Ford Ranger hauling an EC1165 here.

Think about dump trucks dumping a transfer trailer - they're overloading 200 - 300% momentarily, and do this day in day out.

Whole lotta speculation! Don't think OP has ever said what caused this to happen?????
