I once took my mother-in-law to the store. Does that count?
I had this bright idea to install drainage, irrigation, and sod in one weekend. I worked in Savannah at the time and live in Charleston.
So I got a mini excavator (1907 lbs), skidsteer (6148 lbs), trencher attachment (955 lbs), landscape rake (1109 lbs), and an auger attachment (231 lbs). Sunbelt loaded everything onto an 18' double axle drop trailer (2393 lbs) with surge brakes. 12,743 lbs total. I pulled that bad boy from Savannah to Charleston.
Luckily there was no sway and the drive is relatively flat, and it's been almost 100k miles since, so the tranny held up. In hindsight, what an idiot, and I'll never do it again. I consider myself lucky that Sunbelt had balanced the trailer almost perfectly.
