Absolutely love the comments at the end of that piece.
We’d just broken down…ho yeah, right !
I want to know how the bloke who has “been involved with driving and haulage for many years” can tell at a glance that it is overloaded? What utter nonsense.
IMO it’s quite clearly not stuck under the scaffolding. Had a wagon hit that scaffolding the wagon would not have got stuck, the scaffolding would have fallen down.
The wheels are off the ground simply because the pavement is level and it has reversed down a steep slope, you can’t expect a truck to have the same axle articulation as an off road prepared Land Rover after all…

That “expert” can see it’s overloaded, it’s got so much weight on the back, the front wheels are off the ground !:lol: 
Is anyone else thinking “we’ve had bigger than that down here drive”?

Going by the comments about the front wheels being off the deck theres no many experienced 8 wheeler men even if that motor had went in empty that front axle would still have been in midair and bin motors by the fact they have the hopper and compactor plate at the tailend are noted for being tail heavy before they even start to load and if he was nearing the end of his pick ups a slope like that was going to be tricky and worse if it was wet.
