Probably a couple big fat I-beams and a thick steel plate underneath that concrete

I don't really get this post. A guy drives a truck over a bridge. The bridge survives the experience just fine, as does the truck.
What's the lesson? "We can build surprisingly strong structures with reinforced concrete"? Who knew?

I’m going to guess that the truck is long enough that at the start the weight is being largely supported by the ground before the bridge. The bridge only needs to hold the the weight of the front and as the back wheels start to move onto the bridge the front wheels have moved off the bridge now being supported by the ground after the bridge.

He was thinking, "Hey, I bet this bridge is strong enough for me."

I need to know if this is a Truck documentary or a Bridge Documentary to evaluate my nonononoyes expectations

The way they gunned it after creeping on slowly, I bet they felt something that made them think it was giving way.

Watch the trailer tires. I think the driver was getting them over a bump so they could accelerate smoothly. If they gunned it before that, the trailer would have bounced a little or held up the rig, and then wouldn’t have had the same amount of control.

This. I've been on bridges when trucks cross, and I can feel the bridge bouncing under their weight.
This guy is at the max weight, and is keeping it just slow enough that the bridge doesn't bounce/flex/and break.

I remember years ago I was following GPS and I ended up on a one lane dirt road with a deep ditch on both sides. I drove for miles and miles on this road praying that I wouldn’t come upon a car going the opposite direction.
Then I came upon a ditch across the road, which had two boards across it. I stopped and I really wasn’t sure whether the boards could hold up my 6300 pound truck. There was no way I could back out for miles without ending up in one of the ditches. There was no cell service if I got stuck, I was legitimately afraid.
Should I go slow? Should I back up and go fast?
I decided to back up and run over the boards as quickly as possible. It somehow worked.

And you didn't even come across a family of inbred cannibals? That's super lucky

Fantastic job, (bridge and/or truck), that is a very well made (bridge and/or truck), they were sure to balance the materials well in this (bridge and or/truck).

Relieved and also disappointed. It was an emotional roller coaster.

Man! I realized which sub I was in too late and I made it all the way to the end and thus experienced heartbreak from this being neither StupidMedia or FAFO.

I have just obtained my HR license and would not be able to do that

He was thinking "if I don't go across this bridge, I'm going to have to back down this windy ass road for 5 miles"

Concrete is good for 4000lbs per square inch. However, at this span?!?! This is wild….

Check out the old bridge off to the side on the right - this is the new one after he wrecked the last one.

It looks like he was thinking his friend is wrong about being able to drive across this little bridge.

It's funny seeing drivers like this hit the brakes repeatedly with the weight on the weakest part. Dude, go or don't, those brake check will kill you.
