Is this normal?

In case the photo doesn’t load it’s a pic of a wagon with its load falling out of its arse From today at Lymm whilst I was fueling up for the first time in a class 1!

It is normal yes…See quite a few carrying stuff like that no problems.

Perfectly normal, often carry loads like this myself. It’s due to load planners thinking timber comes in liquid form :unamused: :grimacing:

It’s not falling out, the driver does know that it’s loaded like that, please tell me you didn’t tell him of his ‘problem’, although I’m sure he gets plenty of other road users informing him while he’s driving down the road.

How the he’ll do you load something like that? , at a guess by crane through the roof or reverses onto it ■■.

Theoretically it should be an indivisible load.

The strap holding the doors open is usually a good sign the driver knows the score

Its only got its turtle head hanging out lol whats wrong with that ?

Looks quite a bit of overhang though. Not sure of the regs but shouldn’t there be a marker board or amber flasher on the back?

No, I didn’t say anything, I’ve never seen a load hanging out the back like that before. it just looked like the load had burst out the back end

hiya i picked a load of logs up once from near fords at Daganham for Kirby nr Liverpool…54 ft long logs on 40 ft trailers. there was 6 of us
straight up the Holloway road on Saturday morning. the back truck had a bit of rag fastened on the log to warn everyone…hi ho silver whoosh

I saw on Twitter the other day that one of the Police forces down this way had pulled a flatty type transit van carrying that metalwork they chuck into concrete flooring and fined the driver/prohibited it as they didn’t like the spikes protruding from it!

Edit; quick search found the pic

This is,in fact,a curtainsider fitted with the latest curtains made from WOOL…the latest initiative from Brussels :unamused:
Far more ECO friendly than the plastic variety.
Unfortunately,when it rains…they shrink :open_mouth: :open_mouth:

Why■■?

You’re allowed 3.05 metres of over hang to the rear before you need to start worrying about flashing lights and signs.

its easy, open the curtains up and the forklift comes in at an angle and feeds the load around the rear pillar, use to do it all the time with timber out of Immingham back to devon.
