    Llooked pretty well done to me , probably pretty normal , if not 'best practice 'for the third world . Better get used to it ,first world is becoming third world pretty quick these days .Personally I,m looking forward to it .Less unnecessary rules and regs and a less bureaucrats swarming around the country making up new regs .The way things are going we might all be running oxen teams instead of heavy iron:falldownlaugh

    Probably just another day at work for those guys. I´m not saying I want to work and compete by their rules, but they probably don´t have the DOT cops with their body cavity searches and the ´put you out of house and home´ fines for not having the load distributed properly over your axles or for using the wrong blinker fluid.

    If there´s any truth to what´s written in the news, even oxen will be taxed and fitted with emissions equipment. http://robertd.wordpress.com/2008/12/03/epa-to-tax-cow-farts/

    He's been practising Actually seen them doing the same thing up the soi from my mother in laws place in Bangkok. Also saw a bogie truck like that with a 20 tonner on the back with all the rear tires blown on one of the busiest intersections in Bangkok in peak hour ?? a few years ago. If you tried that in OZ the mermaids would take a very dim view and you'd end up with your Knackers in a sling for sure. Be a pretty disconcerting feeling driving a truck like that around with that sort of weight on it
