    I'm about done with you guys. This behavior should not be encouraged, nor should you make light of it. EVER.

    Think about this.

    @supergreatguy has a neighbor with a kid, that has - rightly so - invested in quality Tonka machinery to haul these delicate loads for a fair market rate. He's hauling loads to the back yard from the kitchen - not this "Outlaw BS living room to kitchen" stuff that his neighbor is - for HALF THE RATE !!!

    @supergreatguy 's kid is running the balls off this stuff at the rate of 3 a day, at a cut throat rate - while his older sister laughs and says she can sustain a suppressed market with $39 in her pocket, waiting till the rest of the competition goes out of business - or - switches gears to pimping out Barbie dolls to nearby GI Joe dolls.

    Let alone the 4 axle 'pasted together' off brand equipment he's invested in. These loads here that have been posted will be forwarded to the FCTCA (Federal Toy Carrier Association) for further investigation. This is SERIOUS stuff. That piece of machinery is well overloaded by axle, gross - lacks the correct permits . . . . I could go on and on.

    Who knows. this kid may be lease purchasing this junk from a dodgy 1099 employer, being forced by dispatch to haul these loads he has NO BUSINESS getting involved with - my heart goes out to him.

    Where has this business gone?

    This operator should be a member of the Owner operator, independent toy truck drivers association. They will fight for their rights!

    TOITOA (Toy Operator, Independent Toy Operator Association) is probably the best bet this poor kid has when the lawsuits start piling up.

    From local news reports - a puppies tail has already been stepped on, and a nuclear lawsuit has been filed.

    Poor kid will be lucky to retain an expired box of pop tarts by the time these vulture lawyers are done with him on these charges.

    No placards and the bridge between the tandems and drives is way too short. Better take the back roads and run while the law dogs are eating their dinner.
