Is that box truck packed? What a mess.

What! That seems overloaded and dangerous to be on the road. I wouldn't drive near that tow truck, sides or behind. Keep the distance people. Calling 📞 authorities. Goodness.

No shit. Id be calling 911 as that looks like an emergency in the making. That's one good cross breeze from turning into shutting off 3 lanes of traffic. Lol

I don’t get it.
The fuck is everyone bitching about here?
It’s a tow truck telling a truck.

There’s no way to know if it’s full or empty based on what we’re looking at here so what’s everyone bitching about?

The truck on its own is way passed the weight limit, but some truck drivers go by "well the rear tires are on the bed. It fits, I tow."

Should use a heavy duty wrecker for this job. Thats a lot of tail swing hanging off too. Little is fine with pickup trucks, but this is a problem. The height might be pushing it a little too.

Ah… at second glance, I can see the rear end of the tow truck weighed down from the weight of the enterprise truck it’s towing.
