There is little sense in double rigs with theoretical weight equal to those of 45-foot trailers, but with 11 tempting feet of extra cargo space. These trucks provide a ripe opportunity for the unscrupulous trucker--and more than one-quarter of them are unscrupulous--to overload in pursuit of bigger profits.

"The Overload" the most seamless piece of sound (you can't call it rock, really) heard in the last five years. The group, now expanded from its core of four to a rough and tumble crew of some nine or 10, then took some time off for a few individual projects, regrouped...
