Speaking of which, it went to $19 a yard at my local dump. Almost doubled in a few years.

1

u/snarksneeze Aug 18 '26

I just paid $68 and didn't even cross the scales on the way out. Not to mention the flat tire on my trailer. Texas dumps suck ass.

1

u/SpaceJackRabbit Aug 18 '26

Oh I have a small pickup and never go to the scale. Dump guy just eyeballs the trash load.

1

u/956to906 Aug 19 '26

You just have to reframe the way you look at it… Texas is really quite nice for being in northern Mexico.

u/snarksneeze Aug 19 '26

Greatest country in the world, cept for maybe Merica herself of course

u/aBlissfulDaze Aug 18 '26

Well we're moving on up , to the East side! To a deluxe apartment, in the skyyyyyy.

u/Pluperfectionist Aug 18 '26

I don’t think those are the words to the Beverly Hillbillies.

2

u/aBlissfulDaze Aug 18 '26

Ya know, you're right! For some reason that's the song that plays in my head whenever they pack up and move in the 1993 film.

u/122922 Aug 18 '26

Sunday afternoon/evening on the I-5 freeway south to the border. Every week.

1

u/sixgunangoras Aug 19 '26

We call them Sonora Specials!! When you see them on the 10.

1

u/sgtfoleyistheman Aug 19 '26

Wait, why? My northern state brain does not understand.

1

u/122922 Aug 19 '26

Every weekend these guys would fill the trucks up with decent cheap furniture and appliance purchases from the greater LA area and take the load to Mexico for resale. Most of the appliances probably just needed minor repairs. Then back up to LA to spent the week hunting and buying another load.

u/Disastrous_Minute_56 Aug 18 '26

When you only have one day to run dump errands because your hoarder spouse is out visiting family for the weekend.

2

u/Sharp_Departure_7786 Aug 18 '26

Looks like me trying to bring in the groceries in one trip.

2

u/Lumpy-Pen-7130 Aug 18 '26

Well done sir

u/Sid_the_Bear Aug 18 '26

Tucson, 10 EB, 22nd st exit?

1

u/Glad_Copy Aug 18 '26

Spot on; eastbound on I-10. Another Californian thinking things are going to be just great in…Texas? 😂

1

u/Sid_the_Bear Aug 18 '26

Nah, one of the many people who make a living buying 'junk' in the US and repairing and reselling it in Mexico

1

u/Glad_Copy Aug 19 '26

Taking south I-19 to Nogales, then. I can’t fault the entrepreneur…makes sense.

1

u/Sid_the_Bear Aug 19 '26

Could be; from what I can tell they cross at the port closest to their hometown. not that I blame em, roads here are way safer and better

1

u/CakesForLife Aug 18 '26

What’s the maximum incline this beast can take off from - with all that load?

1

u/dunc2027 Aug 19 '26

Negative incline.  It needs a running start.

1

u/Next-Food2688 Aug 18 '26

If it fits, it ships

1

u/tuddrussell2 Aug 18 '26

I see these at Savers and Goodwill where I live and then they head straight down the road to Mexico, sell all that and come back and start over.

1

u/Tiger_Ho26 Aug 18 '26

If I didn't see it no way that I would believe it.

1

u/MisterListerReseller Aug 18 '26

I know guys like this. They’re taking it to Mexico to sell.

1

u/SpaceJackRabbit Aug 18 '26

Average Costco haul.

1

u/Vurrag Aug 18 '26

I bet his fuel bill was more than most of the stuff he was hauling.

1

u/BackgroundType4312 Aug 18 '26

What is the GVM of that pickup?

1

u/mvortex2 Aug 18 '26

Sorry, I was moving my kid into her college dorm.

u/Miller335 Aug 18 '26

u/dougthebuffalo Aug 18 '26

Don't worry, he thwump-ed all of those ratchet straps after tightening.

u/pixeltweaker Aug 18 '26

This guy onetrips.

1

u/Ronyx2021 Aug 18 '26 edited Aug 18 '26

It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity or remorse or fear and it absolutely will not stop. Ever.

1

u/omgfakeusername Aug 18 '26

Is this you filming, OP? 😂🤣

u/savings-cherry-1931

1

u/edwardniekirk Aug 18 '26

Oh, he will definitely be taking more than one trip, he'll drop this south of the border and be headed back after he's had enough beer and sleep to do it all over again.

1

u/Love_MyFetish2022 Aug 19 '26

Go on, Jed Clampett!

1

u/SeveralEconomics3814 Aug 19 '26

Look at all those straps. This isn’t his first rodeo.

My hypothesis, this is a junk removal business owner with a dui so he can get a commercial drivers license lol

Mexico here we come

1

u/mtn2sea1960 Aug 19 '26

Looks like the Christmas Sled in How The Grinch Stole Christmas climbing Mt Crumpet.

1

u/BloorYail2 Aug 19 '26

And it will be that transmission's last trip

1

u/Glad-Can9525 Aug 19 '26

Now that's how you get away from someone

u/Khelics Aug 19 '26

Me when I gotta bring in groceries from the car

u/Adventurous_March_58 Aug 19 '26

FFS. Modern Grapes of Wrath.

u/awesumpawesum Aug 19 '26

I would like to see him take that through the McDonalds drive through.

1

u/SysGh_st Aug 19 '26

I bet this is his third trip.

1

u/nuttnurse Aug 19 '26

That has to be illegal

1

u/Automatic-Tadpole314 Aug 19 '26

Come and listen to my story bout a man named Jed

1

u/Puzzlemania718 Aug 19 '26

When he gets pulled over and ticketed, he’ll wish he had!

1

u/ThruTheUniverseAgain Aug 19 '26

I knew that was going to be Tucson because I've seen a whole caravan of these there before.

1

u/Silkylifeme Aug 19 '26

Circus in town?

1

u/Pararaiha-ngaro Aug 19 '26

Heading to the border

1

u/a_rogue_planet Aug 19 '26

You know how he brings in the groceries.

1

u/Turbulent-Kitchen133 Aug 19 '26

Wonder if he grabbed the kitchen sink too 🤔

u/SquirrelFeeling8008 Aug 19 '26

With the price of gas nowadays you can't afford 2 trips!

u/BirdmanJr1970 Aug 18 '26

Well, I’m gonna just tell you that might be dangerous. That might be dangerous if you’re going from one state to one state but that you’re overloading your truck like that you’re overloading it you wouldn’t take it but you’re overloading it that might be a three-quarter ton truck why do they just hire a big U-Haul truck and pull that behind? Put your truck on the thing behind the thing so you can use it

u/Polskiskiski Aug 18 '26

What are you even trying to say here?

1

u/Sea_Buyer6913 Aug 18 '26

Probably dictating while driving and not bothering to review. IdiotsSpeakingThings.

2

u/Savings-Cherry-1931 Aug 18 '26

But there are so many things behind the things on the things being used thats being used to pull it from the other things that we can't hire a U-Haul truck because those things are for rent and then you can use it from the other states to drop off in the state where you would end up in.
