Went for a tire change on one U-Hauls largest rental trucks, upon getting there, we found arched over springs, overload stops flattened, and rims with good tires only a couple inches off the ground.

20 ton bottle jacks wouldn't lift it, used a heavy wrecker to do that, put tires on it, drove it to the nearest scale, trucks GVW is 20,000. It weight in at 36,780, driving it (for liability reasons) was fairly interesting, lots of corner lean, braking a mile away and transmission locks outs.

GVW exceeded by 8.5 tons, and we wonder why they develop issues early on.....
