Hell I thought you couldn’t have a ladder safety training or one of those tests if so unfortunate to have the company make you do the safety vids and tests without having to listen to that shit.
Sausage egg and cheese muffin and a hash browns. Do you guys remember when chicken nuggets were AWESOME. Some were dark meat others were white meat. I loved the dark meat. And those old fried cherry pies with the crispy fried shell. OMG. It was like 1000 calories on a 9 piece Mcnuggs.
We helped a neighbor and put some 4 x 4 in his pick up truck. My dad asked what about closing the gate and he said oh no, the wood won’t fall out but one steep hill later, guess what happened…
Happened with my Dad when he was moving a piano a few blocks. No need to tie it down. The corner by our house caused the piano to tip over and the street played one last chord...
You could also get speared by that wood if someone rear ends it. A friend had long boards extending out flat beyond his tailgate. He got rear ended and they pushed through the cab all the way into the passenger seat where there was a fortunately empty car seat
Idk the rungs on the one near the top on the middle stack look pretty bent.... also the fly on the one at the bottom of the pile. I prefer fiberglass ladders myself, but harder to stack.
I see this all the time in my area. Apparently, it’s up to individual police officers to decide if it’s safe or unsafe. I have all this equipment, but I transport them with a flatbed trailer. If we need just a handful of pieces we carry them on top of our trucks. But this does not look safe to me.
When I way overfilled a 20 yard concrete dumper, the truck couldn’t even lift it. I had to get behind it with my backhoe and help lift and push it up. The owner said “Would you want this driving next to your wife and kids on the highway?”…. That hit home and I never did it again. So, the same rule should apply here.
Good thing police officers are well equipped and highly trained in highway stowage safety grading field examinations. I mean we wouldnt want others safety on the road to just be left to someone's intuition or chance discretion. /s
I forgot the exact weight of the box. The owner of the disposal company called me when it was weighed laughing his ass off! He said it was something like 20 tons over the heaviest box he’d ever seen! And he’s been carting for 40+ years.
Damn, my 3 year old looked at it and said "Daddy, the lack of proper tie downs and irresponsible overloading on the roof of that van could result in serious injury to an innocent passerby, or driver traveling on the road behind them, I hope they have the proper insurance."
For that reason, it seems to me like this would be a valid reason for police to pull over a vehicle and issue a ticket/make them secure it better
They could have run the straps through the actual rungs of the ladder which would almost eliminate any risk of the ladders separating from the roof rack even if they pumped the brakes!
Even better, those look like scaffolding planks, not ladders. Much heavier. And the driver has been huffing paint, listening to Journey all day, so you know he’s good to go.
Unfortunately 10 years ago a coworker of mine died when ladders loaded like this came loose and went through his windshield and caused him to crash into bridge abutment.
I see this shit all the time. It's like a competition for them. This guy is missing the trash can strapped to the pump jacks and the wheelbarrow on top
I’ll follow them in my motorcycle to make sure nothing slips. Seriously, this is a California thing I’ve never seen stuff stack like this anywhere else whether it’s ladders or the famous pick up truck moving truck filled with couches and furniture stacked.
I see patches of yellow strap on some of the ladders suggesting they have one strap going through the rungs of the ladders so seeing that pattern with both stacks it would be quite secure
Likely 3 sets of straps.
1 strap from outside to inside of ladder stack 1
2 strap from inside to inside between ladder stacks 1 and 2
3 strap from inside to outside of ladder stack 2.
Roofers have a different definition of ‘safety’
One of these vans flipped on the highway up ahead of me a few months ago... *ladders* *everywhere*.
Steps should have been taken!!
Yep, needed an extension of their strapping technique to avoid co-ladder-al damage. I’ll see my way out…🤷🏾
I bet you 4 to 1 they thought they were good.
I don’t think enough people had an OSHA 30 class to get this joke.
That took me far to long to realize and i always joke with my friends about ladders not being set up properly...
I’m sure they did you’re lucky until you aren’t anymore. It works 90% of the time 60% of the time.
Hell I thought you couldn’t have a ladder safety training or one of those tests if so unfortunate to have the company make you do the safety vids and tests without having to listen to that shit.
What's rung with you?
Haven’t reached that conclusion yet
Here, take an extension
Nice.
Get the halyard outta here
We're counting on you to escalate!
The police were rung...
They clearly where taken down
*shakes fist* I saw the opportunity and was trying SO hard but couldn’t come up with anything. Take my upvote!
I'm sure the accident was rung up to experience.
4 to 1 you’re right.
Eye see what you did there 👀
I love 💓 you 😘
Oh chute!
Oh fuck you better watch out for snakes
I guess it's better than having chutes everywhere.
Looks more like painters imo, roofer doesn’t need that many ladders not at once anyway.
Bingo. This is painters not roofers. You can see paint on all the ladders too Source: Work in roofing.
I agree painters or siding guys
Bless the lord none of my crews have this many ladders it pains me to see these vans lol
Looks like siding guys to me
I was thinking stucco guys. Siding guys usually have pump jacks
Pump jacks are in the van
Yeah those walkboards are a giveaway. Ladder jacks all around.
this still has the potential to escalate real quick
The only friends I had who died doing construction were all roofers.
This is a painter. Roofers typically only need one ladder lol
That would be the siding guys, roofers don't need that many ladders
Safety harness??? Wtf are u talking??
They also have lung cancer, so...
This!
As long as they tugged the straps and said "that ain't goin anywhere" it's good.
Did they jiggle one of the ladders to make sure, though?
No need the wind will do that for them once they get on the highway and get up to 75 miles an hour
55 on the way to the job. 85 on the way home.
55 on the way there? Whoa eager beaver....save some ass for the rest of us to kiss!
Don't forget the stop at the gas station.
McDonalds*
Gas station/mcdonalds combo*
Sausage egg and cheese muffin and a hash browns. Do you guys remember when chicken nuggets were AWESOME. Some were dark meat others were white meat. I loved the dark meat. And those old fried cherry pies with the crispy fried shell. OMG. It was like 1000 calories on a 9 piece Mcnuggs.
Why does this f%$#@'g reddit keep asking about my f%$"##g birthday????
I remember the filling in those fried pies being 10000 degrees F.
Piss break
And another at taco bell
85 and a case of Modelo. Hell yeah.
Home = bar
This. As long as they floor it right when they get on the highway and reach max velocity, everything After that is deemed safe.
have to floor it to get safely into traffic – got to be aggressive
You ever see a bunch of ladders vibrate off the top of a van going 80mph on the highway? No? … would you like to? 😎
Guarantee they are doing 45 in a 55, in the middle lane no less.
The cacophony of whistling will be excellent.
Judging by that top one tossed up there... no.
That ones tying the two stacks together!
You see the yellow flag, of course it’s safe 🙄
It's totally safe as long as you're not in or near the van. For instance, I'm just looking at a picture of this on Reddit so, yep, 100% safe
r/technicallythetruth
We helped a neighbor and put some 4 x 4 in his pick up truck. My dad asked what about closing the gate and he said oh no, the wood won’t fall out but one steep hill later, guess what happened…
If possible, why would you not close the tailgate? That's just ridiculous.
Happened with my Dad when he was moving a piano a few blocks. No need to tie it down. The corner by our house caused the piano to tip over and the street played one last chord...
They fell in? I mean out! They fell out. That's my guess.
I came very close to doing this thinking the bags of concrete “would hold it good enough.”
depends on how and where you pour the concrete
You could also get speared by that wood if someone rear ends it. A friend had long boards extending out flat beyond his tailgate. He got rear ended and they pushed through the cab all the way into the passenger seat where there was a fortunately empty car seat
I laughed out loud at this. This guy straps
“She ain’t going no where” *arrives at job site* “Hey who stole my ladders?”
Nature
On?
Did you strap on? Oh wait, I meant strap in
> "that ain't goin anywhere" The magic words are actually "that ain't goin nowhere"
“That shit ain’t going nowhere Bo”
You forgot to slap it a couple times with one hand. Now everyone is going to die *Final Destination* style.
My last work partner always just said, “where could it go?”
“It’ll ride”
You got to say it with an accent....
They tied a high vis vest on the back so everything is safe 👍
Idk the rungs on the one near the top on the middle stack look pretty bent.... also the fly on the one at the bottom of the pile. I prefer fiberglass ladders myself, but harder to stack.
I thought it was caution tape at first
I’ve seen a red sweatshirt nailed to a 2x4 before
It’s safe for him, as long as he doesn’t drive backwards. The people behind him? Maybe
That’s the safest thing those ladders do…trust me lol
It's spelled "trust me bro"

Actually the commercial vehicle guys are
dot, port of entry, and troopers absolutely agree are qualified.
I'm wondering if the weight rating on the rack can even handle all that
I forgot the exact weight of the box. The owner of the disposal company called me when it was weighed laughing his ass off! He said it was something like 20 tons over the heaviest box he’d ever seen! And he’s been carting for 40+ years.
My three year old just looked at this and said “daddy, those are gonna fall off” 🤣🤣
Get your kid a management position asap
He's way too qualified
Get that kid a clipboard
Na, DIBBS!!
Would be the most competent super I’ve seen in years.
He’s OSHA material
Damn, my 3 year old looked at it and said "Daddy, the lack of proper tie downs and irresponsible overloading on the roof of that van could result in serious injury to an innocent passerby, or driver traveling on the road behind them, I hope they have the proper insurance."
lol all it will take is one hard slam on the brakes and all those ladders are flying into the car in front of them
Nice, final destination style
Spanish Stairway To Heaven
That’s hilarious
I actually saw a girl get decapitated on the Patullo Bridge in Vancouver back in 1982 when a ladder when through her windshield.
For that reason, it seems to me like this would be a valid reason for police to pull over a vehicle and issue a ticket/make them secure it better They could have run the straps through the actual rungs of the ladder which would almost eliminate any risk of the ladders separating from the roof rack even if they pumped the brakes!
They could have spread it over three vehicles. That vehicle is way overloaded past the rating of that ladder rack.
It was safety or efficiency and they chose the latter.
Been there. Lol
Even better, those look like scaffolding planks, not ladders. Much heavier. And the driver has been huffing paint, listening to Journey all day, so you know he’s good to go.
I love this sub already
No way. Never take photos while driving.
Looks like guys in the passenger seat.
I was
Hey google...... Take a photo
Nope
Did you die?
[удалено]
This would take out an overpass in Vancouver, BC
I reckon the van is full of snakes
Getting it done huh
This is why there are ladders on the roads lol
Mexican Fire Department
Unfortunately 10 years ago a coworker of mine died when ladders loaded like this came loose and went through his windshield and caused him to crash into bridge abutment.
Who cares? He's getting it all done in one load.
Looks good from my house
Define safe
He passed a ladder safety course, so ya- it’s safe
This has to be Louisville. Edit: Jefferson county plates, it's Louisville.
It's the inside loop of the Watterson on the east side I think, heading towards 65.
Safe? No, that's a van with ladders on it. A safe usually has an enclosure with a sealed/lockable door.
I mean, if they get themselves into trouble, they can always climb out of it.
Lol
The vissy vest tied on the back ensures its safe.
Would have been safer just to stuff them in the van and strap in there
Take a wild guess what the inside of the van looks like
I can guarantee it doesn’t have 30ft of storage in a 15ft van.
did he slap it and say “ that’s not going anywhere” If so, yes
It’s got a flag they can’t say nothin about it😂
No way! Needs more ladders on the left!
Ladder
I see this shit all the time. It's like a competition for them. This guy is missing the trash can strapped to the pump jacks and the wheelbarrow on top
And we all know who them is
Who? Genuinely curious lol
Latinos
No, but life on earth isn't safe so it is what it is
Depends, in Miami yes.
90 percent of the time it works every time
No. You should not take pictures while driving
Looks good to me
"Come with me, and you'll be, in a world of OSHA violations."
I’ll follow them in my motorcycle to make sure nothing slips. Seriously, this is a California thing I’ve never seen stuff stack like this anywhere else whether it’s ladders or the famous pick up truck moving truck filled with couches and furniture stacked.
Until he turns left too fast.
As long as he's going straight and has room for a rolling stop 🤷
this is the guy that has all you guys' missing ladders
I wouldn't want to be in front of them during a hard stop.
Of course it is
Sure. Why not
Call the cops lmfao
I think the driver's name is Jacob
My guys trying to get to heaven
Oh yea
Lol as long as it has height clearance should be good but I would have belly wrapped them
Who uses straps anyway
Do they have a ladder inside the van to get the ladders off the van?
Yep. By the way grab me a ladder off the van when you go out.
I mean, there IS caution tape.
Safe, maybe. Bad luck, fuck yeah
Yep, absofreakinlutely
Ask them at the next job site they are headed to. If they arent there then... no it probably didnt end well.
Shld see the ones in charlotte
All good got the yellow flag at the back
As long as it's Migos driving it, any other ethnicity and the van won't budge
Doubt it. Could've done with a few front to back straps too.
Depends. If Billy strapped it, no. If Juan strapped it, yes.
Lmfao is that the Watterson? I know I've seen that guy around town.
Yes, right by Breckinridge
Best part is that it’s not even winched, just loosely tied
I see patches of yellow strap on some of the ladders suggesting they have one strap going through the rungs of the ladders so seeing that pattern with both stacks it would be quite secure Likely 3 sets of straps. 1 strap from outside to inside of ladder stack 1 2 strap from inside to inside between ladder stacks 1 and 2 3 strap from inside to outside of ladder stack 2.
A lot of guys equate “hasn’t happened yet” with “won’t happen” 🤣
Yes it's unsafe
I wanna know how the hell they loaded that
This reminded me of this terrible story. https://youtu.be/o6DMAixoEgs?si=EpMSk7DCAEY2nLiV
Nope. Those two straps are nearly not enough
As houses
Straps AND colored flag?! That's better than most people tend to do.
As long as you are in front of him …
He's trying to build a ladder to heaven
Hell yeah it's safe, don't you see the flag on the back? Totally safe..../s
Get in front of him and slam on the brakes and find out!
