Alaskan truck driver knows a thing or two about loading very tough loads.
Take a look at this driver loading a water tank the way you thought is impossible.
Enormous skills are needed for this effort,
but it seems that the driver has what it needs to load a water tank like a pro.
Imagine the amounts of money, gas, time and working hours that are saved this way.
Comment: Alaska: I just viewed this video from an MSN Canada article and the writer noted this 20.000 gallon tank was full when loaded onto the truck.
This doesn't sound right.
I've seen this operation done several times during my summer job long ago on the rigs in the Brazeau River area in Alberta,
and the tanks were generally nearly empty. Am I wrong?
Com: For a minute there,
I thought the tank was going to fall over onto the bed of the truck and wreck it.
Then the tail of the bed hit the tank and the truck stopped.
The driver then applied enough tension to the cable to slowly bring the tank onto the bed of the truck,
using the tail of the truck as a pivot point.
Pretty slick maneuver, if you ask me.
The driver really knows his stuff....
