Wildsawmill,

 You know, just tonight I was eyeing a truck that a local feed mill runs. I saw it in a shopping mall parking lot as the Miss'es was in shopping, I was driving in circles to keep the little ones content. I noticed a very large steel support bolted right along the frame near the bed/ cab transition. This truck is a Chevy 3500HD (19" rims), and I thought "That's weird" , my
F-550 doesnt have anything like that. Guess you just answered it. Thanks

The Chevy-GMC with the Dura Max Deisel have the front of the frame reinforced with the plate you saw, it's about 12" or more at the bed end.

Who would actually waste their time loading that log on a trailer being pulled by a half ton truck in the first place. I'd guess that the truck didn't even have a trailer brake box. I would even be cautious loading it onto a single wheel one ton. Where are these idiots located?

Yep, it says Z 71, that's a half ton. A 3,000 lb trailor hauling a 5000 lb log? A 3/4 would have been much smarter. At least they didn't drive it down the road.

WOW!!!  Thats something else.  I'm a rook with wood weight, and I'd be questioning loading that on to a 7 ton dump trailer.  YEEESH... No matter what species it is.
