A new fuel tanker truck arrives on location somewhere in the Middle East.
The company manager in charge tells the fleet supervisor to ensure that the tanker truck is clearly labeled:
泥iesel Fuel in Arabic and 哲o Smoking in Arabic.
This is what he got

lol. That's hilarious.

Woah!!

Even worse.

The first one is just likely to cause property damage. If this one is real - he deserves his Darwin Award.

I found both linked from here. I have no idea if they are real or staged. Someone there claims he took the crosswise-ladder photo and its real.

Looks like something someone from California would do...:thumbsup::laughing:

Oh man lets not start that. The first crosswise-ladder photo was definitely identified as on I-95 in Rhode island. Someone saw that and posted a link to this one in his thread. Location unknown.

If he lifted up the rear axel with the wheel lift this wouldn't be as bad. I bet his roll back doesn't steer good.


Then the genius with the shed needed the Kenworth in the first picture.

That pic reminds me of one time I tried to move an old junk school bus back into our salvage yard after someone drug it out to steal it.

Someone told me that they saw a small truck trying to pull it and spinning it's wheels. I guess they gave up and left the bus near the street.

The bus was driven in and parts were removed so it wouldn't run anymore.

I didn't have any big equipment to move it and I didn't know whether my dad's old ford winch truck would actually move it or not.

I backed up to it, hooked the cable up to the bus front end and went to lift it in the air. The front of the winch truck went way in the air.

So I let it back down and was able to get it to lift just a hair off the ground enough to move it.

Though the whole time I was trying to pull it back into the yard. The front end of the truck went into the air. lol

Every time I stepped on the gas the truck would lift. It did move the bus though. Slowly but it got it back into the yard.

We have done the same thing with a similar ford rollback. We were trying to pull a bucket truck that had the air brakes locked. We never did get it to move.

At the time these types of things happen, pictures are always the last think to think about.

I drive a GMC 2500HD. I bought a Case 580 backhoe. I them bought a 12 ton Backhoe Pro Trailer to haul it. Loading it up was an adventure. Driving it up onto the trailer, the trailer tongue, attached to my truck, lifted the entire rear of the truck off the ground leaving the rear wheels about 3 feet off the ground. I wish I could have thought of taking picture at that moment but I failed. However, the picture in my head will forever remain. Once on the trailer, the actual tow was uneventful. Unloading it just required putting a log under the rear of the trailer and just unloading the backhoe. Now I know.
