3macboys Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Saw this performance yesterday while picking up supper. This is across the street from a local shop that ships a pile of stuff south to the US so if any of you are expecting one of these trucks close your eyes. The guy alternated between trying to drive the truck on and then trying to back it on. In this attempt he had taken the rear floor mat and draped it over the roof, you know just in case. Not sure how much weight is still on the steering axle of the tow vehicle considering how much the truck is already squatted down. I was kind of disappointed my food was ready as fast as it was, I was enjoying the show! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdome Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 The pickup appears to be about 4" too tall to clear the upper rack so the floor mat will make up the difference. 😐 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he should have backed the white short bed short cab to the forward portion of the lower deck, then the rest would have made sense? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what I thought Marty or even if he took a few pounds of air out of the tires. I was waiting for a transport to drive by to judge just how high the top truck was, the whole deal just looked like a bad day waiting to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch cab Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I work in the parts department of the company that sells that trailer. All I will say is, you would be shocked at what we see all the time! So many drivers are from countries that do not have driving rules that are enforced, and these drivers have no idea how to properly operate these rigs. Or maintain them! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing with customers like this you are a very busy guy! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nailbitten Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Wait until he hits a dip in the road the loaded truck will bounce and crush the cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 The truck has the headlights on, ramps still down, must be still trying to see if it works, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
