At least safety chains are connected

On highway running 55 in center lane!!
Jack legs almost dragging on the road!!

Hmm. Looks fine to me...

Okay, so, I'm totally on board that this is dumb and should not be done. But if we think it through, what are the risks? I don't tow a gooseneck, so I don't actually know. Does the gooseneck use a different ball size, or not affix to the ball properly? Assuming the truck can take the tongue weight, how is this actually a problem?

Oh my!

I be more worried about someone taking pics while driving. I've never been on 55 that I have not been almost blown off the road by someone doing 85-100 while talking on the phone. With the traffic backed up behind you like that looks like a accident waiting to happen, as rough as 55 is in places and one of those legs catches the ground. WOW only in sippy.

At least it isn't loaded. My guess is that it's just being moved for some reason, maybe it was too good of a deal to pass up and someone's just taking it home and will install the proper hitch. Should have extended the hitch a bit to give the landing gear more clearance though.

I thought you were referring to the chains that look like I could pull them apart with my hands much less control that trailer if it came off.

You got alot better eye sight then me. I can't even tell what type of chain let alone gauge size.

Actually, it was on I-20 east of Tuscaloosa heading toward MS. He was doing 55 in the center lane and I snapped a couple of pics as I passed him. My buddy in MS says he was only getting the job done!

:shocked:

Well, that's half of how inertia works. It's the other half that will mess you up.

Continents slide on their plates and they are pretty heavy so anything man has made will move too.

Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. :cool2:

 

[azbinder]

If he was just moving it from place to place, the ONLY issue I see is that he should have extended the hitch tube, and, it wouldn't have taken more than 5 minutes. And probably not a good idea to run in the hammer lane @55. Top picture appears to show it being just 2, not 3 lanes, therefore NO center lane

 

[imgone52]

The issue is the danger to others if he "High Centers" the landing gear and rips the trailer apart or loose. Just not safe.

Seen it before also.
