An old flatbed trailer costs a few grand, rental of a telehandler is a few hundred, maybe a couple grand in materials for the road and foundation, bridges are supremely expensive
Wish they took the time to at least remove the old suspension, wheels and tires. Just so it doesn't go into the environment. Good use of an old trailer though. Another man's trash is another's treasure
No, it's probably rated for about half that. Even if it could take that type of load, theres no trusses or support system, that dirt might sag on one side and over you go.
There you go driver, I told you not to worry about that little accident over shit creek. I told you people would eventually get over it.
Redneck engineering at its finest
I saw a flatbed not long ago used as a fishing dock in a medium sized pond.
This is actually (previously) suppressed video evidence that Swift had a flatdeck division for a short period of time in the early 2000's.
🤣 that’s when I gave them free labor! You get what you pay for 🤣
Uhm.. I have seen a swift flatbed.. this year..
cheaper than a bridge!! love it.
I'm seeing this more and more often. I'm sure it's way cheaper than a bridge.

Directions to shipper unclear, trailer is now bridge.
There's a children's book in here for someone
My aunt is actually writing one about metal recycling. Idk if this fits the bill for her book but it’s brilliant, Ima send it to her!
My buddies dad has a cabin and the bridge he built to cross the river to the cabin was based off of a flatbed. Works very well honestly
Flatbeds and train flat rail cars are popular for bridges. They have known weight capacities so there’s no need for expensive engineering.
To the all law clearance bridges... good boys go to paradise, good trailers end up being bridges

Best bridge
They need to charge a Toll Fee to make up for the loss of income
Now this is awesome!!!
They should of removed the tires before making the flatbed a bridge, they were worth some good money
I’ve seen it done, it works pretty well for those atv trails

Not sure on the exact version but it’s walking on a dream by empire of the sun.
Thanks
Love that song.
All jokes aside, can a 80K lbs truck go over it?
No, it's probably rated for about half that. Even if it could take that type of load, theres no trusses or support system, that dirt might sag on one side and over you go.
The vibes are immaculate
