Huge hauler from Mercedes Benz


Made your link one that can be clicked on.

What a monster hauler! I've seen trucks here hauling just the dump box, but never the whole rig at once.

Thanks TMN

That is an awesome picture!

What's the sicker on the door say?!?!?!

Is he using airbags or timbrens?:B

Uh, that writer needs to check his math. 308 Tons (big T = metric Tons) is about 680,000 pounds. That really isn't unreasonable for a single tractor. The more shocking thing to me is the standard width trailer its all being hauled on!

In related news.... I keep seeing the new MB Actross going through Freightliner's testing rounds around Oregon. Wonder if we will be seeing a new Argossy replacement stateside?

It probably has an ecoboost in it!:p

If that's one of those big Caterpillars, they have a payload capacity of 360-400 short tons. The gross operating weight is 1.2 - 1.3 million pounds according to wikipedia.

Wikipedia says it does weighs 1,375,000 lb so I don't think he did any math i think he looked it up.
