    Cool Who needs a tow truck or trailer?

    I was scanning google images for neat scrap related stuff and came across these pictures.. all I could do was laugh that there are places worse than here for hauling outrageously illegal loads.










    Notice the police or DOT in the last picture and I think portable scales under the crazy mans truck. I give him an A+ for effort lol.

    People do anything to make a buck. Trouble some will never have common sense and take risk with there's and others safety.

    I just can't believe that he deliberately damaged his truck to haul that car in like that. My truck is old beat up and if it sits for too long I have to jump it off before I can drive it (theft deterrent). But I would never damage it deliberately to haul in some scrap.

    I am pretty sure that is a Pennsylvania state trooper. He is also probably a steelers fan. I have heard they aren't that bright.

    I think it's a New York trooper and a few days later they caught him again with a different truck and dangerous load. One of our members was a retired trooper and his buddy sent him this set of pic's. I think they impounded the truck and then he was caught a few days later being stupid again.
    Joe, you are correct and there was no license or registration on the truck,,,lol
    I think we deduced that he probably launched the car off a dock or loading ramp judging by the dents in the truck bed.
