There was absolutely nothing wrong with that trailer! The driver was 100% at fault for improperly loading it. All the weight was on the tongue and none of it on the axles. I’m pretty sure that trailer isn’t even rated for 70,000 + pounds in the first place.

Absolutely no reason why 70000 lb should been on that trl. Over loaded clearly

You can tell what type of a CDL driver is based on their footwear alone: Beware of those who wear sandals.

YouTuber with a CDL, protecting his feet with flip-flops, using a lightweight trailer for a seriously heavyweight hazmat load, blames the trailer.

Crazy that they made you come back in the morning so the DUI's wouldn't take you out, I get it though "safety first" ..!

Almost like you need to read the distributed load capacity charts for those things... Our tridem is good for 80,000 in theory. Read the book it came with, it's actually rated for 50,000 @ 10 feet in length for that exact reason. Full weight is with even perfect distribution of weight only

In my opinion, it really is the wrong trailer for the job. The trailer is probably rated for 80,000 but the problem with a centralized load like that is that proper placement means placing at the maximum stress point of the trailer, which is direct center. Moving the load back far enough to put 40,000 on the trailer axles may have worked but makes the truck want to jack-knife with very little weight on its rears. A triaxle trailer, or a shorter trailer would have been the ticket. In my opinion of course.
