2 - If you say it's fast - I guess I'm the crazy driver

Re: Lowboy 55L back dolly vibrates [ACKNOWLEDGED]
Yes, you're the crazy driver There is a 40 mph speed limit sign - that sign is a speed limit for cars, but you're reaching that speed limit even with truck and overweight cargo weighing around 150 000 lb in total. The forces in such speed with such heavy cargo are simply too strong even when you do a wide turn (pigbrother explained it really well). Since we don't have any sort of physical damage, you can call it an expected behaviour. And I'd recommend you to drive slower, don't forget that it's called heavy cargo for a reason

Yeah, I agree with what Morelo is saying, also in regards to an earlier post, a heavy haul trailer really shouldn't be venturing anywhere near to 65mph, all of the heavy haul trailers I have worked on are fairly strictly limited to sub 50mph speeds, this limitation is normally due to the type of heavy duty tyres required.
Heavy haulage is a slow, calculating business.
