Don't have a truck to haul your laminate flooring home.... Just bust out the back window.

Looks like we are getting an invalid attachment... Maybe try a Jpeg?

Only attachment is the picture of the trike-truck standing up. Unsure why the link is going to an invalid attachment.

Twice within the last month I've seen small utility trailers with broken tongues on the road. No pics of either as we have a no cell law here and too much traffic to stop.
First looked like about a 4'x8' piece of junk trailer with a older (early 80s?) compact tractor with loader. The tractor itself just fit on the 4x8 and had a loader with the bucket curled all the way under to clear the tailgate of the truck. Tongue broken/bent right at the front of the bed dragging on the ground as he pulled off the main road onto a side road.
Second was a 5x10 single axle landscape/utility trailer with a bunch of 12' lumber piled out over the front rail. He made it from the Home Depot parking lot just out onto the main highway (two lane each way with a fifth center shared turn lane) before it gave out exactly the same way. It was parked in the center lane with the 4 ways on when I went by. The trailer if it had been in good shape would have been more than sufficient to carry the load (unless there were a bunch of bags of cement that I couldn't see) under the lumber

Not nearly as serious but I put an IBC Tote (275 gallons) on a $30 used HF 40"x48" trailer. That worked fine for watering new trees until I tried to back uphill in freshly disced ground, which bent the tongue.
I welded a piece of bedframe angle iron onto the very soft U-channel tongue of the HF trailer. This has worked fine for several years now - even though I'm pulling 2600 lbs on a trailer rated 900 lbs. Here's a photo of the weld project I put over on Welding Web - let's see if they allow links: (photo). No way would I take this trailer on the highway!
