    Wow! You have overloaded your truck ONCE? You must never get drunk (exceeding the alcohol limit) or tear the tag off your mattresses or lift with your back instead of your legs or brush less than 30 seconds in each quadrant of your mouth. LOL! There have been loads where I could have thrown half off the truck and I still would have been overloaded.

    How did you load and unload it?

    Me and a warehouse person just manually loaded it. 4 of them at a time weren't heavy.

    I took about 20 maybe 25 minutes minutes of lifting about 4-5 of those things at a time from the side standing in the bed - (yeah I know another 212lbs of weight in it) and tilting/pushing it over the back.

    I am not a real scrapper I just play one on TV (and I am a part-timer at that). I can't get myself to put wood on the sides and the front of the bed to hold more stuff (but it would have saved the right third of my back window), but if I did, maybe I would have overloaded more than twice. So i guess I am saying it's hard to overload cause I can't stack enough things in it to do so without them falling out. I have never had such a large amount of dense material as this last time. I've had 5(?) washer/dryers and a stove - took up far more space but not even close to 1740 lbs and still not overloaded - weight wise.
