I'm on the fence whether or not this is stupid; it is super clever and everything is strapped down and packed efficiently

It’s stupid as in highly illegal and a DOT violation, but smart as in they actually took the time to strap it down well and make sure it wasn’t a danger.

I would argue that it’s not strapped down well because they tied the straps to the handles that half the time fall off from rust just using it as a handle

Actually after looking at it again they might have the hooks on the frame of the door and if that’s the case it’s probably fine

It's like carrying the 15 bags of groceries from the car in one go. It's probably more pain and 3 out 10 it fails and like 5 bags break. But it's the pursuit of glory that counts

Very stupid. If anyone rear ended them, it’s instant decapitation.

That’s why the mattress is there. /s

Plot twist: the cargo box is empty.

It’s padlocked and they left the key in their other pair of pants.

It's very very common even on the back of semis that usually where they carry the mattresses for a move

If it works, it works, right? However, It only works until it doesn’t ;)

They’re using the lift they lower the shit out the back with to haul it across town so dumb😂😂😂

Hella dangerous. Cannot see the brake lights and the depth perception is funky. Too easy make a coupe into a convertible.

Dumb as fuck you never depend on those straps to hold up they are ment more for holding down

most ratchet straps have a safe working load of 1000 lbs+ you can get them to hold as much as you need them to.
you can hang them upside down, right side up, horizontal, vertical, none of that makes a difference to the load bearing capability of the ratchet strap.
hahahahaha

I can’t argue with the fact that they likely were on a short move. I don’t know what the law would have to say about it.

That's not what a liftgate is for.

i find it funny people mention the ratchet straps.
theyre connected to a handle held to a thin aluminum wall with two small rivets.
ive seen fat guys snap them off climbing into the back of the box truck.
with that being said will it work?
probably but this is still stupid on so many levels hahaha.

It's a good way to fuck up the lift.

Wouldn’t worry about the dollies, would be more worried about the loading ramp.

Stupid Bc you can’t see brake lights if you’re directly behind them.
If you drive behind that and don’t pay attention to it stopping you’re the idiot
And those elevator lifts aren’t brand to have weight on them while moving
