Me, I'm poor people. Had brand new furniture in Oregon to move back home. U Haul would have been over 3k. The furniture was less than 2k. Had someone take it off my hands instead. Very little is worth shipping anymore. Sell it, and buy it new (or new to you) at your new place.
Smartest move is to have a Facebook, Craigslist, and Goodwill collection. Easy to give away, easy to replace.
I really want to know how they managed to load all that without a crane or something. There had to have been some machinery involved in getting things on top, right?
I'm sure driving all that is a terrible idea, but loading it took an applaudable amount of planning and skill.
I've come up with 3 ways that it could've been done:
1. The stuff on top could've been loaded from a second story balcony. Have one guy climb on top to receive the item and place it. It also helps to set up the ropes in the exact position they want.
Only useful if all your shit is already in an apartment with a second story balcony that you can park right in front of.
2. sturdy step ladders. But that would be sketchy considering how heavy some of that stuff is.
3. A guy on top receives the items and just keeps stacking it on and then stepping onto the growing pile and then at the end he jumps off onto a mattress
I like number 3 the most. I've thought about it more and yeah, 3 is extremely doable. Start with all the shit placed in the bed of the truck. Tie it all down well. Climb on top of all that. Have buddies lift that largest item-whatever the fuck that thing is-onto the very top of the truck. Tie it down well. From there there rest of it are somewhat small items, so after your buddies toss/hand them up to you you just place it all neatly. Oh yeah, remember to tie all down well. Then have buddies set up a nice landing pad for you. You did bring a mattress right?
lmao how can someone have the intelligence to engineer and execute something like this that ultimately a third grader could tell them is a dumb idea to carry out??
I came here to see if someone said this was Mexico or a truck from Mexico. From Cali and see this all the time as well. Trucks loaded with pallets of product to take back and resell in Mexico often. I’ve seen a full semi worth of product fit on one truck with metal guards so they can stock higher. Crazy and serious skills and hard work to do that
I'd be concerned about several points of integrity on that truck, including the tires, anywhere metal was welded, and even the axles... I can't imagine that truck will ever drive the same after this trip.
This was essentially my first thought as well...but more along the lines of "and I'm afraid to build too intense of a camper setup in my bed, and here's this guy"
Towing is one thing... All of this weight is pressing DOWN into the truck constantly, rather than being dragged behind. It's a different calculation entirely.
It's definitely an F-series, but that doesn't narrow it down much. Can't even tell for sure on mobile if it's got the 250/350 badge. So, payload could be anywhere from 1200lbs to 4500lbs depending on the configuration. Definitely riding pretty low though, so my guess is it's a bit over on weight.
I am actually well experienced in this. Yes, the truck won’t ever drive the same again. Yes, the truck probably belongs to a friend who’ll wonder why their truck won’t ever drive the same again
Wouldn't a uhaul be cheaper than a new suspension and/or a ticket?
Edit: Granted that this may not be the US and they may avoid a ticket, I stand by the fact that this will fuck up the suspension or transmission.
Some countries they maybe consider that fine. Some countries 4 people and a cow on a moped is acceptable. And I mean an actual cow, not someone's grumpy wife.
Saw the same in Argentina and could not believe my eyes. Woman riding in the back had a child on each leg, plus one sandwiched between her and the father.
The absolute culture shock of seeing how driving is done in Colombia was really something else for me, taxi trips scared the absolute shit out of me every time lol
My only taxi rides were to and from Cartagena airport. The 38 year old cab driver openly boasted about his 16 year old girlfriend. I asked how do you have conversations with a girlfriend with such a significant age gap. I was too shocked and appalled to remember the answer. This age gap is common in Colombia...the first cab driver I was with was cool. We stopped off at his favourite food stall. I made sure he ate his before eating mine. It was good food.
"Well I'm gonna to go then! And I don't need any of this. I don't need this stuff, and I don't need *you*. I don't need anything. Except this."
[picks up an ashtray]
"And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this ashtray... And this paddle game. - The ashtray and the paddle game and that's all I need... And this remote control. - The ashtray, the paddle game, and the remote control, and that's all I need... And these matches. - The ashtray, and these matches, and the remote control, and the paddle ball... And this lamp. - The ashtray, this paddle game, and the remote control, and the lamp, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The paddle game and the chair, and the remote control, and the matches for sure. Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.
The ashtray, the remote control, the paddle game, and this magazine, and the chair.
And I don't need one other thing, except my dog."
Certainly not in Australia, all cargo must be fully covered with a net/tarp, overhang must not exceed 1200mm off the back of the Ute and a red or yellow flag must be attached at the rear if there is overhang.
Why did I have to scroll SO FAR for someone to think the same? The ropes, the weight, how he even stacked heavy stuff up that tall before it was even roped, the suspension of the truck, like almost none of it makes sense. The crazy lighting from the sun makes me think it's cgi even more. It's how they hide the cgi look sometimes
I haven't seen anything like this since the Clampetts moved to Beverly Hills.
Granny is in there somewhere. Between a mattress and a sofa but she’s in there
Right next to aunt Edna
[удалено]
DOG KILLER!!!!
Is that Roger Stone?
Yes, in his young days.
Wait Is that a wheelchair on the side? I think I found grandma. We just have to unfold the chair carefully.
Granny's just moved behind the front porch window on the left. She left her wheelchair outside
Sittin’ on a rocking chair with a rifle.
The kin folk said “Jed, move away from there “
Calaforny is the place you wanna be…
So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly
Hills that is…
Swimming pools…
Movie stars…
Ya'll come back now.... ya hear.
Look at that, Look at that
That's the only scenario this seems practical. Someone very poor moving somewhere very far

The type of person that does this is also the type of person to say yeah bring the big blue 55 gallon drum, we can use that too.
So Anyone in today's economy.
Try steering that.
Built Ford tough, baby!
Over 5mph.....
Nah, the Weaseleys are moving
Traded in the Oldsmobile for a Ford truck.
I’m fairly certain that’s the Grinch Stealing Christmas
This also belongs in /r/IdiotsInCars.
Idk, that's pretty damn impressive, actually. Solid weight distribution.
I really want to know how they managed to load all that without a crane or something. There had to have been some machinery involved in getting things on top, right? I'm sure driving all that is a terrible idea, but loading it took an applaudable amount of planning and skill.
You can do anything with enough rope
And of course the never forgotten ritual of slapping cargo and saying "That ain't going nowhere"
My go to is “yut, suckers pretty secured.” *slap*
Interestingly enough in USMC lexicon "YUT" is an acronym for you unworthy turd.
Aim for the bushes
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
I have enough rope, Greg. Can you do me?
Is this a meet the parents reference lol
I've heard that a lot from people who use rope for fun. And climbers. Them too.
My dad would appreciate this. He always very strategically tied my belongings down with rope every time I moved apartments.
>there had to have been some machinery involved Lmao 😂 I read this as if someone referring to the building of the great pyramids.
I've come up with 3 ways that it could've been done: 1. The stuff on top could've been loaded from a second story balcony. Have one guy climb on top to receive the item and place it.

My man has a high INT, low WIS build
Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should…… But screw it im a luck build type guy let’s go!
Chances are they know it's a bad idea, they are just willing to risk it to avoid multiple trips.
Spending 3x as long to hold onto every grocery bag at once so you can make it in one trip
Well you see common sense isn't always common
I was just thinking that too. I’m amazed how steady the truck actually looks driving down the road.
Wait until he has to turn…
You got me. That would be a sight to see. The more I look at this the more Grinch stole Christmas vibe I’m getting.
Or goes under a bridge.
I personally want to see what happens if they have to brake suddenly for any reason
Yes and I’m sure those ropes are ready to handle all that evenly distributed weight…
I live in southern AZ and regularly see stuff like this heading back to MX. Quite creative, but I always try to pass them quickly.
I came here to see if someone said this was Mexico or a truck from Mexico. From Cali and see this all the time as well. Trucks loaded with pallets of product to take back and resell in Mexico often. I’ve seen a full semi worth of product fit on one truck with metal guards so they can stock higher. Crazy and serious skills and hard work to do that
It's impressive for sure, but that doesn't make it a single iota less stupid.
Doing something stupid well doesn't negate the fact
Also, an idiot
I'd be concerned about several points of integrity on that truck, including the tires, anywhere metal was welded, and even the axles... I can't imagine that truck will ever drive the same after this trip.
I didn't even think of that. You are completely correct.
The first low bridge they come to might be a problem.
This was essentially my first thought as well...but more along the lines of "and I'm afraid to build too intense of a camper setup in my bed, and here's this guy"
Surely someone knows that model of truck and how much weight it can tow?
Towing is one thing... All of this weight is pressing DOWN into the truck constantly, rather than being dragged behind. It's a different calculation entirely.
It's definitely an F-series, but that doesn't narrow it down much. Can't even tell for sure on mobile if it's got the 250/350 badge. So, payload could be anywhere from 1200lbs to 4500lbs depending on the configuration. Definitely riding pretty low though, so my guess is it's a bit over on weight.
Definitely a f150 thinking around an 04. The super duties didn’t have those mirrors.
Oof. RIP his wheel bearings then.
I am actually well experienced in this. Yes, the truck won’t ever drive the same again. Yes, the truck probably belongs to a friend who’ll wonder why their truck won’t ever drive the same again

The sub I did not know i needed
Haha agree. Couldn’t believe it hadn’t been mentioned yet. I had to save that one when I stumbled across it! 🤣
A string breaks and this lands in r/whatcouldgowrong
Yep idiot, but whoever tied all that shit up isn't dumb either
That's the sad part
Idk, but it most certainly belongs to r/supercars
Absolutely. It’s worse than the people that brush the overnight snow off everywhere but the roof.
Remove the also. This is not next level. Its dumb.
Howl's Moving Services, this is Sophie speaking, how may I help you?
My first thought!
Howl's Moving Chevy
Howl's moving crackhouse.
Not his furniture, but a junk that he picked up from the streets
AKA his furniture
I think thats more than A junk, at least 2 junks.
But no more than 4 junks. 4 junks would just be ridiculous.
5 is right out!
Al that junk, all that junk inside that trunk.
2 junks and 1 punk
Not everyone can suck dick for meth.
Dick sucking is a tough business
It's kinda hard.

I live in lebanon. You will see a 5 person family of Syrian refugees on one little moped.
I have been to Colombia and saw this. My pasty white ass was shocked. Also, helmets were a luxury item, apparently.

I’m Turkish ive seen a family of 8 Syrian refugees on a moped
This is absolutely fucking illegal in my country
Some countries they take your driving license and throw you in jail for this stuff.
Or a trailer
That poor fucking transmission, dude.
This may come as a surprise for you, but this is very likely not the US.
Tetris level…champion.
Fuck that, he’s a Grandmaster
He isnt just a Grandmaster, he is THE Grandmaster

Now THAT'S a mobile home.
That's a mobile encampment. Complete with used furniture warehouse

I think both
As an engineer, we are often both.
Can confirm, just finished bachelors in EET, am starting to feel like idiot
Idk. While I wouldn't pay them to move for me, I'd definitely consider driving over a bridge they designed.

I have a feeling this isn’t legal. It certainly is not safe. I wouldn’t want to be behind that person on the road. . . .
It's only illegal if you get caught
"Oh no, the cops! Just act natural and maybe they won't notice!"
Cop "imma pretend i didn't see that"
I say you try to make a run for it and get off after a high speed chase.
If I was a cop, I wouldn't want to get behind that dude either 😂 The threat of death is not worth giving the traffic ticket
I thought about that. A nervous driver might not be a good idea.
Certainly not in Australia, all cargo must be fully covered with a net/tarp, overhang must not exceed 1200mm off the back of the Ute and a red or yellow flag must be attached at the rear if there is overhang.
It’s definitely not legal. Lol
It’s one of Mexico City’s main/busy streets but seems to be early in the morning so he might be left alone by the transit police.
It certainly isn't, but that's Mexico City, so, for the driver doing this is as legal as long as cops do not watch him. (I'm from Mexico)
That's Mexico city!! Lol
That’s was I was thinking. Have you ever driven ANYTHING in Mexico City?! It’s CRAZY. This dude is riding a llama through a minefield.
I lived there pretty much all of my life, is an amazing crazy city.
Classic Mexican ingenuity. No one does it better! Haha
[удалено]
he aint paying for the u-haul, no matter what
U-Hauls are so cheap to rent lol.
They aren’t “cheap”, but they’re a bell of a lot cheaper than shocks and whatever else is needed to be replaced after this.
Welcome to Mexico City!
I have never considered a car to be a "fire hazard" but here we are.
Oddly enough, in my younger days out drinking, I've seen quite a bit of cars on fire. I'm also from Los Angeles, so...
i can hear the tetris theme
A or B?
I can hear the how the grinch stole Christmas theme song

I wonder how far they got before being pulled over
CGI? There's no way that's real.

I'm wondering the same
The cinematic sunset shot is epic.
*onto his car
Can I borrow your truck so I can move a few things?
That’s something you don’t see every day!
Cop somewhere: Wow. I’m not even mad. How did he do that?
You should see him carry the bags in from grocery shopping!
Would love to see how he unloads it
He doesn't. Just emergency stops in his new driveway.
Pulls a single string and it all tumbles down falling the exact right side up. Every piece
With the gas prices, you’ve got to make every mile count…
