I hauled 564K 0f feathers from Miami to Los Angeles on a 1/2 mile bumper pull with my Cummins in 11.5 hours

good luck pulling 116k at 15 mph.. let alone 80. you would melt the head trying to. and even if u got it rolling, 5 inches of slack would RIP apart your truck/tranny...

That's nothing,

Last time I went to the ocean I didn't feel like backing all the way down the launch ramp so I used my Dmax to pull the moon a bit closer so the tide would lift the boat farther up on the launch.

The heaviest I have ever had the chance to be in the truck with was when I was in the second grade and me and my dad hauled about 20-30 4 foot round bales of coastal hay on a 40 foot gooseneck he had me hook up for him for the cattle and horses with his '00 ('90s square body style) Chevy 4wd auto crew cab 1-ton dually with a 454. Only went about 20-30 miles with it though. But then he hauled 2 good sized forklifts from central Texas to Lousiana I believe it was without me in the 3rd or 4th grade in his late 04 LLY 4wd auto crew cab 1-ton Duramax and tipped the scales at about 35-40thousand pounds with his cargo and 40 foot gooseneck trailer. Plus whatever the truck weighed with his big toolbx full of stuff, a small air compressor (about 200 pounds), and a full 100 gallon L-tank of diesel plus his full 35 gallon factory tank. He went through 4 tires and 2 U-joints on that trip.
