Controls in panels: overloaded trucks and defects discovered!

Platten, Deutschland - plates - In a dramatic incident on the B50, officials have stopped an overloaded wooden transport! The truck from Luxembourg was on the way to the Hunsrück to a sawmill, fully loaded with Douglas rims when control began. A shocking overload of around 30 % was demonstrated by a axle load scale: almost 52 tons of total weight! This means that the driver exceeded the permissible limits. But that was not all - technical defects on the tray of the trailer were also discovered!

The police immediately took measures: the onward journey was prohibited and part of the overloaded cargo had to be unloaded before the transport was finally able to continue its trip. But the problems didn't end there! Another truck team that transported Wingertspfelen was also stopped because the load was insufficiently secured. Here, too, the onward journey was prohibited until the cargo was correctly secured in a nearby operation.
