Law's on extending your trailer

Own Account Driver:
Example of the sort of thing you see but, I personally don’t think is legal.

Any driver who set off with that trailer should be banned for life.

Looks like there is some potatoe boxes in there too .

Possibly the wheels and drawbars stripped out of the feeders and trailers, there will be 5ft of feeder missing off that pic.

So. he either took it, got suspended/sacked for not taking it or he had to do 2 loads to take it.

I took non of it. It was also too heavy to carry all 3. The biggest bit was 10ft 6" wide @18tonne with no route. So that stayed. The rest couldn’t go with out it. So they sent me for a loading shovel.

Great planning by the office then.

even in eire,that would get a second glance,and a good laugh…probably that’s all it would get,but its still looks like ■■■■■■■■ for the uk definitely…the drivers name has to be mr joe optimistic.

daffyd:
so you’re allowed 3.05metres sticking out the back of any trailer?

that pic of the farm trailers is mad! is that the foreign trucks you see delivering tractors (riks?) that go home with with one of the unit/trailers loaded on to the back of another?

the pic is of a aberdeen firm called marshall trailers and thats a regular load for them
