judging by the payload then it makes 20 tons of hanging beef and 20 tons on the floor pale into insignificance there.
its not uncommon to gross out at 56 or 58 tons running peat up north out of the bogs in the midlands over here,basically as much as you can load in through the roof of a curtainsider till its bulging fit to bust.but theres not a lot of unwanted interest from officialdom either,so happy days all round.that dude is definately a gold star contender though.Did similar a couple of weeks back, collected scrap metal from a demolition site and just had the loader chuck it all in. Turned out to be 54 ton when i went on the weighbridge at the recycling place. Had to have some taken off and put onto a spare wagon as their weighbridge tops out at 50 ton and they couldn’t book me in till i was under 44 ton. Still i managed to drive from Taunton to Derby without getting pulled luckily.
Take it you didn’t have a on board weigher? lol 
Not a working one

Probably a Somalian driver, you cant scare them
Mercedes should be proud of their Engineering and use it in an advert about their build quality !
