PSA: Truck Load Ratings

Before you go filling up your new pickup truck with your best friends garden supplies, check out the load rating, and think about how much weight you will be putting into the bed of your truck. I was moving some bricks recently, and we had to be very careful not to put to much weight into the truck. Some items can put too much load on your truck, even without filling up the bed. Going back to the bricks, the handling of the truck was severely degraded and we only filled it about half way. So don’t think that just because the truck isn’t overflowing with patio block that you aren’t done loading them. You fill a truck by weight, not by volume!
