Drunk forklift driver + containers = FAIL

  • Опубліковано 2 гру 2020
  • A drunk forklift driver tried to double stack a container and chassis ON TOP of another container and chassis. As expected, this did not go well and the container fell off the forks, leaving a twisted mess of metal. The driver of the forklift was arrest for DUI (this is not a joke lol, this actually happened).
    Dave and I tackled this delicate job with Big Flipper and Hulk, our 75ton and 50ton rotators, respectively. With our massive trucks, the job went smooth. One truck on each end, each attached to the top container holes for 100% full control at every step of the way.
    Despite looking like some crazy job, and with obstacles like the landing gear in the roof and the forklift in the side of the container, we finished the job in 90 minutes from start to finish. Speed is never the name of the game, but we are no strangers to odd jobs.

    Dude, I've been enjoying your videos for at least two years or longer. I'm pretty sure that I met and ran into your grandfather, or maybe great grandfather? several times over at Engs Peterbilt back in the late 70's-80' before Rush. I can't remember Mr. Engs first name but knew him and dealt with him and Tony Lacey, and knew many small fleet owners for many years. Guys that if they couldn't have fun with you and vice versa they were no good to you. Anyway, one time he was talking about his son being ready to go out solo on a wrecker...as soon as he got a D/L in a few years. So this is a long way around just to say your videos are great, your talent and skills are superb, and now I see you're honing in on your comedic assets. "I'm going to be getting it from the rear" and then the Peter Pan scene...you're funny dude! Also, I laugh every time you same "boom". If you didn't say it you sound like a good ole hippy boy from Little Rock Bakersfield. I better stop now and apologize in advance if I've offended anybody...I've been drinking, you suggested it. I'm an old man, maybe there's a new kinky kind of Towmans Porn going on? Be careful out there, peace out, and enjoy. God bless.
