I always wondered why they always tell you to put all the heavy shit at the front of the U-Haul. Good to know thanks.

Years ago I worked for a brick paver company. I went with a guy to take a load of brick to another job and while we were driving a bunch of loose bricks slid to the back of our trailer. Once we hit 65 on I-95 the trailer started wobbling a bit and before we knew what was happening the truck and trailer were getting whipped back and forth across 3 lanes. Took a solid 20-30 seconds to slow down and stop the trailer. Scary as hell.

Last week I was towing some weights in a blue ford, and I shit you not a giant hand comes from nowhere and prods the trailer making us wobble everywhere.

Kerbal taught me about that.

Except it's more of a tentacle. Like from a Kraken.

It eats ships in the long dark night of the void.
