Hey Phil,Hi Gavin,
You have never seen the vehicles from Mexico with between 14 to 16 mattres piled high on an F150 (older Mexico F150 called Lobo) Top mattres probably cleans the bottom of the overpass bridges on the way to the Nogales boarder crossing. I am guessing the folks down there must eat them for breakfast as this is very normal. We either stay way behind these trucks or blow past them as rapidly as possible. Worse are the trucks with refrigerators and washers and dryers piled two high and 5 or six deep.....Angle iron frame extensions abound, most being only tack welded. Traveling I19 is always an adventure southbound to Green Valley out of Tucson...
Best,

That’s pretty crazy! Haha. It definitely sounds like an adventure out there. I would like to see those sketchy loads in person, but not from behind. ? Stay safe out there.
