God will protect him as a member of the Church of Ladder Day Saints.
JHolm915 t1_jcq0wxl wrote
He's been driving like that for years. I typically see him every day. It's definitely a risk, but he always keeps it in a straight line and the ladders seem secure and don't sway or move.
Squidworth89 t1_jcr9ssd wrote
Wonder what his gas mileage is. 2 mpg?
hessianhorse t1_jctdxra wrote
They’re aluminum ladders. It’s not as much weight as it looks.
Squidworth89 t1_jctekoa wrote
It’s more the profile.
The more wind resistance a vehicle has it decreases mileage. If you’ve ever driven a boxier vehicle at times you definitely feel it.
hessianhorse t1_jcten6u wrote
It’s already a box. The ladders don’t make it much boxier.
Turkyparty t1_jcsfdvg wrote
Ive also been behind him a few times. he doesnt speed or drive ridiculous. Calculated risk.
CalligrapherDizzy201 t1_jctalqf wrote
Tbf, driving in general is a calculated risk.

::Reads roof rack warning:: “those weight limits are really more like guidelines”
Squidworth89 t1_jcr9p7d wrote
They’ve got like three roof racks on there.
Pancrat t1_jcracxb wrote
Alright we’re gonna need a nerd in here to do the math on that
octo2195 t1_jcqlpi8 wrote
Six roof racks attached to the rain channel. At least three straps holding the ladders onto the roof racks. Looks better than when I was in construction years ago and that would have been tied down with one strap. Nothing seems wrong to me. Looks like the trash barrels have a strap and are stuffed into the pump jacks. Surprisingly, the tail/brake lights are both working, too.
psyco-the-rapist t1_jcrlbzo wrote
As somebody who has had about three quarters of this size load on his van with three racks I tend to agree with you. It's those side windows( passenger van)that have me thinking. Do they make the body weaker or stronger?
Historical_Ice6993 t1_jcruptg wrote
I also work construction and don’t see a problem. at least the break is at the top pushing the weight down

At least it’s not in the left lane…

Guys its fine, he slapped it after strapping it and said "that's not going anywhere"

It's all good until he makes a sudden lane change and rolls.

Meth and Roofing go well together
WhittlingDan t1_jcr7uo6 wrote
Is their a lot of Meth in CT now? I'm in my 40's but when I was younger I bartended and never saw or heard of it up here. Cocaine or weed were the two big things in a bar and the start of the opiate epidemic.
TreaclePerfect4328 t1_jcr81yt wrote
I'm same age. No. Meth isn't east coast yet. That's why I used it for joke. Fentanyl may hit too close to home. It's tough trying new material online lol
WhittlingDan t1_jcrhy9w wrote
I've actually heard that meth is finally hitting New England and the the dealers in the cities are really pushing it. Its basically a whole new drug with a whole, new, market. I don't know how true it is but it surprises me that we haven't really seen it up here yet especially since the cartels started producing so much of it. Im a recovering alcoholic and been go rehab a couple times, they were big places and out of roughly 300 people only one person was there for meth.
TreaclePerfect4328 t1_jcs8nkv wrote
I'm in recovery too. Now I do hear about it more from addicts same as you. Bound to happen even to us here in CT. Cancer spreads

I don’t know what it is, but lately I’ve seen sooooo many unsafe vehicles like this lately in CT. Like more in the last 6 months than the last 15 years combined

It looks like a secure load, though, depending on the height, it's probably legal.

I have so many questions...
Does this person need to lug all this equipment with him? If so, what if he only needs to access some of the equipment...does he have to off load everything to get what he wants? If he doesn't need to lug all this equipment, why not keep it at the warehouse?
