50 trucks checked – Focus operation: small truck was extremely overloaded

12,050 kilos instead of the permitted 6,200 kilos
One van from Switzerland in particular, which actually has a maximum permitted gross weight of 3500 kilos, stood out. Instead, the vehicle was 70 percent overloaded and weighed 5,950 pounds. And that’s not all: the trailer he was transporting was approved for 2,700 kilos, but weighed 6,100 kilos: an overload of 125 percent.
