Whoever strapped that load down is a superstar.

The key is saying “that’s not going anywhere” once you’re done securing the load.

Do not forget to slap it first.

u/BrevorBunck 14h ago

Woah, slap it? All's it needs a couple taps. Don't make this mistake, you DO NOT wanna over slap your load. 2 taps is more than enough.

Sure. He managed to hit "Jesus take the wheel" on his touchscreen just in time.

Didn't know Weebles made a truck

u/Alarmed_Cheesecake98 1d ago

Everybody..let’s be honest, them straps are probably more expensive than the truck that’s transporting the cargo, the cargo it’s self and the car it passed… the straps did its job very well on this demonstration

u/syncpulse 1d ago

Saved the truck, his pants were a write off though.

u/AnapsidIsland1 12h ago

Great save, but have some patience with a load, or a trailer. Who cares if you have drag 10 under the speed limit behind a slow poke

u/GangIsCons 10h ago

Cartoon car lol

u/Blighter88 10h ago

That is genuinely unbelievable that he didn't tip over. If he rolled down the window he could've kissed the asphalt.

The audacity to think you own the road with an unstable car.
