gotta say... this method of cargo transport hadn't occurred to me...

Thanks for sharing Pete, I hadn't seen it yet. Did you take the pic? That is wrong on so many levels that may cause some very bad things happening before they got to their destination. I would not want to be behind it but would worry trying to pass it even if I could do it quickly.

So here is one I saw on the way home from work today. No Oversized Load signs or anything with stone lights on it. Or any sort of brake light or turn signal and it hung halfway into the oncoming lane. The white truck behind it was the spotter for the guy pulling the garage. He would move into the other lane and stick his head out of the window and wave for you to pass if it was clear. The back of the garage hit the ground on every bump. It was sketchy. Sorry for the potato quality, I had to zoom in on it. 8A1B335E-AB69-46EA-A8F7-A508FE9A2CF7.jpeg.5576136089a84a80fea19741d4454da8.jpeg

That's ingenious! Now he has a place to park, no matter where he goes.

New approach:

 

Moe, Curly, and Larry take their automotive repair business on the road with a "Mobile Garage" service.

can't remember if I shared this one yet, but it's a classic and deserves another showing if I have :D

I totally just saw someone doing this this weekend. Boggles the mind, really. 3/4 ton Ford with a 1/2 ton chev behind. I wasn’t quick enough on my phone draw when I realized what it was, and oncoming on a divided highway means no chasing it down for photos. There was not a lot of clearance between the brakes and the road.

First of all, absolutely blown away by this one! So many comments and memes to go with this too.

 

Guy on the sidewalk "Hmmm, not sure that's gonna work buddy!"

 

Guy on the sidewalk "Where are the straps that keeping from going through the back of your skull when you have to stop?"

 

Owner "The straps said they are rated for 12,000lbs, that's why I only needed one set "

 

Owner "Tire sidewall said max 50psi.....pfffttt, they hold 100psi just fine"
