  1. I haven't had that experience but I think you better rethink the idea.  You're significantly overweight and if you get caught will probably face a heavy fine as well as having the load seized.  Even if only until you can find another container, it will cause you lost time, money and inconvenience.

    Don't forget these regulations are for a reason.  If you carry the container in a conventional manner you may encounter load and balance problems you don't expect.  If you have no alternatives than to use the container, you might consider using a 'Low-Boy'. With the lower center of gravity it have higher capacity.

    Good Luck!
