49,000 lbs? Damn! That driver was cutting it pretty close! An empty rig usually weighs between 30,000 - 35,000 pounds and the max legal weight (loaded) is 80,000! (did he take the "back roads"?) ;)

That's the only way he could afford to bring that stuff to you. He's not making money if he's not loaded and the wheels aren't turning. The onions are called a back-haul.

Yep, a flat-bed ("skateboard" in trucker lingo) hauler spends half his time driving and the other half tightening his straps!

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean about the boobs. I have a similar problem ... whenever I get close to anything, my crotch is always the first thing to make contact! ;)
