This is my active fear whenever I drive behind or near one of these loads.

Read the article to my wife. She asked, how does a truck carry a load like that? My answer: this one didn’t.

YOU should see the loads on Hay trucks near where I live.

288 bales 100# each on a trailer-—2 trailers # 256 bales on the truck ==832 bales.

MY hay gets delivered on same day as 4 other ranches within a 3 mile circle. The truck/trailer/trailer ( called a “Triple) and the squeeze comes along to deliver into barn or on pallets, like mine.

Direct from grower—NEVER have had a bad bale. Family operation-3 generations.

But those truck are huge on the highway-—

Driver's training should include a session or two inside the cab of a fully-loaded semi truck.

I learned a lot from the experience. Treat them with care - they can't stop on a dime.
