Why do you want to put your license at risk? I would have turned it down.

Number 4 is false, although they typically work banker hours at that coop.

Just curious...
I never said it wasn't stupid, just explaining that G vans are nothing more than glorified pups...the weight limits are the same regardless of their extended length.
 
This is not smart ass RC speaking.
If you leave with an overload and something bad happens, it will be you standing there in court in front of a jury being roasted alive by an ambulance chaser. You will lose everything that you have and if you don't survive this event, your estate will lose everything.

DON'T BE A HERO!

Think I'm kidding?
Ask the widow of our driver that hit the bus full of kids.
Tim's estate was one of the first parties named in the lawsuit.

Been seeing G series vans that have be close to forty feet and just a single axle. RC said they were a commercial cops wet dream.

I thought we had gotten away from G-vans. They used to be the longest trailers AF had, in the early days. We still have one or two, all ancient.

Other than in "select" markets, it seems unwise to have such trailers. Far too easy to be overloaded, putting the driver in the uncomfortable position of refusing to pull them (justified), or to take one (risk) for the company. It is far too easy to overload a 40' G-van. Even more likely than a 53'. There are many drivers that will keep loading trailers until full, with no concern for the weight, thinking they are doing a good deed. We're not talking about just a few hundred (or a thousand) pounds over, either.

Did RC mention if these were new units, or old remnants from the past?
