That's really amazing. Someone actually drove the truck in that condition. The front rim is rolled down to a smooth cone...

Yeah, it's insane what a lot of people call driving these days. Just yesterday on my way to work I was going down the road, and the lane ends so I tried to get over to the left, but 10 cars were all tailgating each other super tight. I had no room to merge over. Finally, after a minute or so, a silver Ford Focus must've had a lapse in his unreason and a 2-second gap opened up so I merged over.
He promptly sped up and got on my ***. I was 3 seconds behind the truck in front. Then another turning lane developed on the right. Focus driver proceeds to hit the gas and go over quickly to that lane then rushes up to the intersection (passing all of us) and turns without signaling. And of course, the dude has a smartphone in his hands atop the steering wheel texting.
Ugh. No wonder tens of thousands of people die in the USA alone every year in car "accidents". I guess the rate was hovering at about 20k a year but went up sharply this last year to about 40k deaths a year in the USA. Mostly due to emptier highways, so people feel they can drive even more recklessly.
The dude who rented that truck probably ran over fasteners and was too lazy/stupid to pull over and call Home Depot for roadside assistance.

There was a HD rental truck with a loaded car dolly behind it this weekend. It was weaving all over the place so I stayed back until there was enough room to blast past it. Just waiting for it to fiahtail out of control. Lots of scary drivers out last weekend!!

I have seen that more than once with cars coming off the reservation. This one totally looks like stolen and joyriding
They made it back just in time.
That's my thoughts too. Any news reports of a HD truck being involved in a chase ?What spike strips?

If they didn’t make it back on time they should at least be applauded for the effort.
Actually, it's parked in the wrong spot. It should be in the handicap spot.
Apparently, their handicap is their driving.

~15 years ago when I worked third shift receiving at HD someone rented our truck to take their furniture back in a domestic gone wrong. They backed it through a garage door (or garage turned living space) and loaded up all their stuff. We had already called the police because the truck was 3 hours overdue and the store was closing (10 pm on a Friday). The city police of course got the call someone backed a HD truck through a house so they were already on the lookout for it.

And you guys remember the ISIS wannabe guy a few years back who rented one and went on a terror down a bike path? Hope he's getting driven every day in prison.

Notice the driver had an orange shirt on ? Wonder if he is (was) an employee ?
