By a ton or two? My friend, a ton or two is like chump change and they do that ALL the time like its no big deal.

More common (and worrying) is, however, overloading by 50%. Do you know that even the Volvo FH12s are carrying 60 tons as opposed to 40 tons passing?

Why, the Volvo B7R bus used to carry 3-4 tons in its cargo hold below the passenger area? Take that for ingenuity.....
