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???

You can do it but if you had any doubts as to the intelligence of the
individual allowing it to occur, you now have your answer...they are
very, very stupid.

Just because a truck lets you doesn't mean you go ahead and do it.

Have an accident with that kind of load that results in a death or
injury and watch the lawyers take every cent you and your family has.
