That kid was playing with fire. Christ. The difference of mere inches ended up saving that kid's life. The poor driver must've had the scare of a lifetime. Kudos to the Volvo truck's emergency brake, and double kudos to the driver's reaction time.
For every bridge and overpass in this world, there is a truck that is almost, just barely too tall to make it under. That wouldn't be a problem if there weren't also truck drivers who look at that bridge and go "eh, I think it'll be fine." Cue can opener sound. It's the thought process that leads to many failures, mistakes, messes and errors.
Good old auto repair shops are there to pick up the pieces and put them back together, when fails present themselves. The following collection of fails that just rolled into the auto repair shop might serve to remind you that someone else out there could be struggling with an unimaginable kind of automotive issue.
This is absolutely still a better love story than Twilight. This guy was on the hunt for a worthy trade, when it came to getting rid of an unfortunate ugly yellow hood on his truck. Thanks to the power of the comments section he was able to make a perfect switch happen. And they all lived happily ever after.
It gets lonely out there when you're braving the highway of unpredictable chaos (terrible drivers, icy roads, snowstorms, etc), and a little humor goes a long way. Probably puts some fuel in their motivational tank. These truckers didn't hold back when they decorated their vehicles with raunchy requests, and vulgar descriptions.
Life will throw a lot at you, from embarrassing inconveniences to exploded trucks of medical waste. Sometimes it's good to remember that we all share these hurdles and remind ourselves that we all have our own different sets of challenges. Other times it's fun to laugh at how ridiculously bad things can get. And boy, do things go bad a lot.
1) Take extreme care when unloading unevenly distributed weight, especially on broken or irregular pallets.
2) Always be aware of your surroundings when unloading a truck with a pallet jack. Specifically where the tail gate ends. Also the presence of cameras.
3) Misuse of work equipment could result in making it to the front page of Fail Blog.
Who's a big boy?
That reality-TV gameshow host who somehow became president finally had his big boy dreams come true yesterday. After meeting with a group of trucking CEOs, the Donald got behind the wheel of a semi, pretended to drive for the first time in decades, and even got to honk the horn like a big boy!

He sure does!
Obvious people loved this because, wow, does he look ridiculous. Check them out and try not to think about the fact that while this was happening, the GOP was figuring out a plan to kick 20 million people off insurance.
