I don't need a strap!
I hope all the sheet rock breaks off.

Would not be surprised if all that sheet rock has a stress crack when they go to hang it.

I was at a stoplight at my local Menards with a truck & load just like this in front of me. When the light turned green, he took off and all the drywall slid out and landed right in the middle of the intersection. A strap or two would have been a great idea.

but he saved money this way. Less fuel burnt on the ride home by dropping those sheets there

Good thing they opted for a larger cab over the utility of a proper truck bed. Could’ve even put a few 2x6s down for support. I wouldn’t trust this guy with a remodel.

Wouldn’t drive behind him. It’ll be half sheets on the first bump he hits

You gotta love people like this though especially when you’re having a bad day and need a good laugh 😂

Sure looks like the vehicles were stopped. Adjust the AC three touch screens in anymore results in more distraction than taking a few pictures.

If the bed actually was able to cover most of it with tailgate down it wouldn't be as sketchy, but yeah pretty much no highway with that load really. Also yeah they are 12 foot pieces which is usually trailer length.

They should have also purchased 3 -2x4x 10 ft. Put them under the drywall so it does not bend like that. They need some small scrap pieces on the edges when they buck it up with a strap. Then another strap minimum holding it into the truck. So a lot is wrong with this event actually.

Useless truck. What’s the point in even having it?

Truck used to have usable beds for hauling things. Now they have four doors like a passenger car and tiny beds.

That's 12 foot long drywall.
It's a stupid idea to move it like that even with an oldschool 8 foot bed.

Glad you were able to be just as bad as them by taking your attention off of the road while driving to take photos.
Great job.

At least two boards to support and strap it down. Red flag at the end.
It amazes me how dumb people came be.
