(please correct me if I'm wrong) kc majority of the truck Including me, load their 10 wheeler up to 20 tons n trailer up 35-40 tons.to maximize our expenses per trip.
    on two occassions, try standing on a trampoline 1) on two feet and then 2) on one foot. observe that, by standing on one foot, you go deeper into the trampoline compared to standing on two feet. this is an analogy of how much pressure impacts the road between a 10 and 18 wheeler trucks both carrying 27 tons...

    besides, as the others have pointed out, overloaded trucks are like "rolling coffins" waiting for an accident to happen

    they maybe overdoing it for another reason, but as pointed out by the thread starter, 85% of trucks plying NLEX are overloaded. the authorities should really be very strict about this because the effect, among others, will be the faster deterioration of the road which will translate to unnecessary higher taxes & toll fees to the remaining 15% of truck owners & other commuters as well

    Parang makunat na beef yang kalsada ...

    - Yung overloded na truck, parang matalas na ngipin.
    - Yung mas mabigat na truck pero marami namang gulong, parang pustiso.
    - Yung mga kotse, parang bungal.

    Lugi nga yung mga bungal

    kung rice ang laman ng mga sako, and mukhang 10-wheeler truck yan, it must be carrying at least 700 sacks. at 50kg per sack of rice, that's about 35tons.

    Tingin ko dyan ay "Ipa" lang yan... yung pinag gilingan ng palay. (Balat ng palay in short).

    Back to the topic, I also agree with most of the comments here. Para sa safety talaga ng lahat ang overloading policy ng MNTC. Para sakin, maganda yan na nadidisiplina ang mga dumadaang trucks dyan. Remember during the old days... madaming trucks ang sinasabugan ng gulong dyan sa NLEX dahil sa overloading.

    Teka, di yata maliwanag yung 13.5 ton per axle limit. Does the law define the axles as live axle limit or even beam axles included? Kung kasama beam axles 1 front + 1 rear + 1 rear live axle = 27.5 ton, right?

    There should be no compromise on safety. Overloaded vehicles are definitely road hazards and should be apprehended.

    I saw teams of pncc yesterday before caltex (tapat ng petron) going to alabang dito sa SLEX apprehending vehicles with toploads, especially the ones coming from mindoro. Over talaga sila kung magkarga malaki pa sa jeep yung ni-load sa taas, kahit pa magaang lang yun, delikado pa din pag tumama ang crosswinds kawawa yung katabi pag tumaob yun. Dapat kasi before they enter the expressways may weighing platform na para detour na lang sila pag di ubra.

    kung may nakikita akong mga overloaded trucks .. i avoid them .. mahirap na .. sa sta. rosa .. naka-stop kami si interesection .. biglang may narinig kaming pumutok .. may isang overloaded truck sa harap namin .. pumutok yung gulong ... hindi ko sigurado kung dahil sa pag-overload or dahil mahina na yung gulong .. pero parang binangga yung itsura nung kotseng katabi niya sa lakas ng impact nung hangin ...
