Truck hauls home over makeshift bridge made of hay bales and tires

You won’t believe this!

It’s truly unbelievable that a truck, hauling a mobile home, made it across a makeshift bridge of hay bales, tires, logs and plywood, but he does!

Where was this? The home is likely to belong to the same guy who chose to drive it over that makeshift bridge.
I didn’t watch the video. The answers are probably in the vid.

Where was this?

A good question.

Some place where OSHA forgot to showup?

A cousin has a driveway so steep, he had to pay the concrete delivery company up front... I’m think this was the same arrangement.

The Video is a quick bit of fun, about 30 seconds.

And he was going at a pretty good clip at that.

I guess if you stop, you’re screwed, so you just go fast enough that the momentum keeps you from settling into place.

fascine fill. The Roman legions used the same concept when there wasn’t time to build a real bridge. Also saw a photo from WWII of a Soviet heavy tank crossing a ravine that had been filled in with fascines. Worked for Roman Army, worked for the Red Army.

My son is a semi driver for a lumber company. About a year ago, he and his boss, in separate big rigs got into a jobsite and couldn’t extricate. No where to turn around and it was a few hundred yards down a narrow dirt road.

They decoupled the trailers and used an endloader to spin the trailers then did the same with the tractors.

He was only 19 years old and I told him he had an experience that most 60 year old truckers would never do. The guys driving the box trailers just go from loading dock to loading dock.

My kid has been off road with a semi tractor and 45’ trailer numerous times. He once got stuck in 1” of sand. (empty trailer and not enough weight on the tractor tires)

The birth of the AVLB. ( armoured vehicle-launched bridge )

Or perhaps time of conception?

“No where to turn”

An unusually long semi made a delivery at work...
While unloading some jamokes parked in the no parking zone, impinging the turning radius.(A TEE intersection)
Bollards on both sides to protect the grass.

Cops called for a tow truck.
In the meantime the driver worked the trailer like a Stradivarius, back and forth gaining an inch at a time.
As the crowd watched some idiot yells out 18 speeds and one reverse !
He was very close to an exit when the hook arrived.

Not a line of work I would ever want.
