I think that it is insane and would not do it
or approve of it. Here's
the story.

There is a guy who wants to transport two
pallets, with the total
weight of 5,000 lbs, in the bed of his one ton
pickup truck. (100 bags
of concrete)

5,000 lbs is over 2 tons.

The truck is "one ton" truck like a Ford
F-350.

Does he stand any chance at all of not
breaking his pickup with a
double rated load???

i

I've hauled more than that on a F-350 dually
flatbed. What's the max GVW tag on
the truck say? Depending on how it's equipped,
the max GVW on a F-350 can
be 10,000+. Get as much of the load as
possible forward in the bed----nothing
screws up a pleasant drive more than a tail
heavy load.
