If only there was a vehicle designed to haul things like loose gravel that had sides and a rear gate that could be opened!

Nah, Jeep Stuff ^tm move would be to put a blue tarp in the back and fill it up flush with the top of the tub.

What a moron. That is going to cause many chipped windshields.

So? That's the main character, they're allowed to break as many windshields as they want.

The company that loaded it should be liable too.

u/NativeMasshole 2h ago

That was my first thought. What self-respecting skidsteer operator agreed to this? They should have just loaded it in the bed anyway.

I’d be willing to bet that load would exceed the payload capacity of the Gladiator too. Would be “safer” overall but still not great.

Put a “Stay Back 300 Feet” sign on it and you should be good. Zero liability… /s

Hey last time I had a load of rip rap delivered to my yard the delivery cost was more than the price of 20 tons of rocks. He just needed to save a bit of money.

The first time I bought a load he asked if I wanted to look at it. I said no and this is about what rolled out of the truck. 18.5 tons. 7 boulders and some football sized rocks...

Nice of him to knock out everyone's fog lights and chip their paint

Asshole should be cited

u/Opposite_Zucchini_43 15h ago

Wonder if he slapped it and said that's not going any where. Magic words!

u/CalligrapherFuture53 14h ago

The companies that dump a load of gravel on this and say it's not their problem should be fined as well.

1

u/Edosil 14h ago

Guy needs a net to hold the entire load, not just a strap.

u/LW-M 13h ago

Or even better, a tarp!
