Yup! I know a farmer in Idaho who had the bed of his truck (C/10) filled with grain. About 2 tons. It was riding on the bump stops. He stopped at the shop I was working at to get a tarp from his son so the grain wouldn't blow out too much. He drove that thing about 8 miles to his farm like that...at about 5 MPH.
