I hauled a fridge across town last year - I kept it down to 20 mph and my son in law rode back in the bed with it for safety. I like to learn from other people's mistakes!

I txt'd Jamz a pic of a truck like his carrying a fridge in back w/ a washer (or dryer) sitting on the tailgate. Too bad I lost his # & the pic when my phone took a ****. Said he got a good laugh outta it though.

When I see stuff like this it makes me laugh harder than jamz's story. What is a person that weighs a fraction of the appliance gonna do when it starts to tumble or move around?


Yeah, just be in the appliance's path of destruction.

The last time I moved a fridge, this story couldn't stop going though my head. After this there is no such thing as overkill tying down something.
