    Okay... My boss loaded a full sized van into the reefer and now I'm supposed to drive it 500 miles South.

    The only thing securing it.... is the parking brake.... and some pieces of 4x4....

    I know its stupid.... I can't get out of it.... Aside from all the usual wisdom of driving slow, easy on the brakes and turns, and praying like hell it doesn't fly out the doors, does anyone have any advice that doesn't involve, "no?"

    Where is this pile of excrement going? A scrap yard hopefully? You might be doing someone a favor if it falls out.

    Yep. Just straighten that load lock a little, and let the good times roll......

    Seriously dude. Between the drug test thing and this crap, you really need to find a new boss.....
