July 17, 2025 at 7:23 PM8,000 lb. machine, questionable loading as the weight was not evenly distributed on trailer, the rear axle was carrying the load. Consequently, the trailer was lifting the rear of the pickup reducing appropriate contact of drive axle to road. Also, improper/unsafe securement. Only one tie down as evidenced in the accompanying picture. A blessing that no other vehicle was in close proximity.
