Mobile Home TransportMobile home transporters are paid by the mile. Is there any chance they might have a tendency to drive as fast as possible? (can we say speed?) The effect of hitting potholes or other rough spots in the road can be predicted mathematically. The force of the impact is equal to the mass times the velocity. In other words, a 40,000 lb. home hitting a bump at 60 MPH receives a harsher impact than if the impact occurred at 50 MPH. A related problem stems from the fact that since mobile home transport is a one way trip the manufacturer/transporter is allowed to inflate the tires to 2.5 times their designated load on the theory they are brand new and only have to last a thousand miles or less. Are we surprised to see mobile home transport trucks pulled off along the road changing tires frequently? What do you suppose happens when one or two tires blow and the driver has to slow down and pull off the road. Can we say torque; as in twist the entire home? Could this possibly have something to do with cracked panels, nails popping out and a house that won't level because the frame is bent?
