Never hauled anything heavier that 8000 with my pickup, but the scrapers I used to run weighed in at 350k+, would do as many as 175 loads a day.

Heaviest load was hauling salt in Utah years ago. Scaled around 180 to 200K. Hauling mud in the oilfield used to load up 150 barrels of 15# mud on a fairly regular basis. In a rig of course. Personal truck was around 32K.

I didn't tow it very far but my heaviest loaf was a D4 cat on about a 5,000lb trailer

Have to update personal truck load. Just got a load of palms trees. 30 in all. Scaled out at 42320 lbs. About 4 tons over weight. GVWR was under on steer axle and drive axle weight, just over on trailer.

Grossed over 100,000 lbs pulling triple (pup) trailers on I40 in Oklahoma. Is that cheating?
