I wonder if he really knows the height of his load, going under the motorway bridges I wouldn't like to lay on top of that top pallet :?

The law states, you should a market plate in the cab, telling you the height of your load.
I saw 2 artics get on at j27 m5 a few years ago, loaded with straw, those nice big square bales 2-300 kg each. When the first lorry got to the bridge at cullompton, it removed the top layer completely, the second lorry stopped in time. eIts amazing what some people will do to save that extra load, or those few extra seconds doing the job properly.  :oops:
