One winter my propane guy and his wife , came to check my furnace. It had snowed a little and I have a steep driveway. Halfway up he spins out, roles back aways and stops,the truck stood on the rear bumper, do to the propane sloshing to the rear of the tank. By the time the truck came back down, his wife was halfway out the door, I think she wet her pants.:eek:

How? They are a single action cylinder on most dump trucks. If the truck is hanging from the box its not gonna come down.
I wonder why the driver didn't stop/reverse the lift when the front wheels first left the ground.

I probably had in mind the guy who delivers my gravel with a smaller truck that has a double action scissors mechanism.

I saw an older early 90's Ford F-250 or 350 single rear wheel pulling a large wheel loader a week ago. Don't know the model or make but it was an older unit similar to the old Trojans and looked like it was around 10 ton. Was on a heavy enough trailer but the truck was on its blocks. Was running down a main state road into a busy town. It caught me by surprise as all you saw was the loader as it dwarfed the truck pulling it. I was going the opposite direction so no picture opportunity presented itself.

I don't have pictures but I saw Mahindra PU loaded with rice straw that the PU just disappeared under it. It looked like a pile of straw was riding on the road. In India.
While working in Russia we used to once while fly Kukuruznik (AN2 biplane) to our destination. It would hop from village to village along the route. People transported all kinds of stuff but what stuck in my memory is "babushka" (old woman) with two goats holding their necks underarm.

This is little off topic but it is funny (at least for the bystanders). When I was a kid we used to heat houses with coal. One of our neighbors got the delivery of about 5-6 tons of coal and wanted to deliver it to the shed. The coal guys were paid to deliver the coal to any place within the house. In many cases they had to load it in buckets with straps like back pack and carry it, in example, to a cellar. Since the shed was on the end of the driveway they decided to reverse the truck inside and unload the coal there. The problem was that the door opening was few inches too low. So they decided to let the air from tires to get the truck in. When inside they unloaded the coal but doing so the truck rose up and they couldn't get it out. They had to load the coal back and drive the truck out and then carry the coal inside. We have saying (rhetorical question): Why is it that the lazy person gets strained?

Animal cruelty people should be all over this.... that's a fine waiting to happen. Poor cow... traumatized hamburgers taste bad.

it may have been a downer.. and they couldn't get it into a stock trailer with a fork lift or loader bucket...
