    lol, I was assuming that it would be in the middle of the bridge, but that happened, like, immediately. I don't even think the whole thing was on there yet...

    Also, it's hard to say for sure, but that wood looks in pretty solid condition too. Did the article include the weight of the truck and weight limit of the bridge?

      The weight limit of the bridge was 3 tons, which likely wouldn't even support an empty F-750, and the article mentions that the truck was hauling a load of crushed gravel. The bridge might as well have been made of paper.
