Junk load of junk

The ancient bus body is strapped onto the semi trailer and filled with scrap. Or maybe its filled with scrap and then strapped on. Or maybe it's all scrap. Or maybe . . .

Anyway, it looks real safe to me, as long as you give it some room.

When they unload it, how will they know when to stop?

Nice picture of insane safety violations! Love it.

I wonder how Ponch & Jon would write that one.

That photo....

Perhaps should be front and center in the debate over the N. America trans border super highway deal being debated the past couple of years, eh?

Glad I'm not following or tryin to pass that death trap...

I like that one! We try to avoid all of the scrap metal trucks best we can because of how they are loaded, but that one looks really crazy.

I always cheer when I see another truck loaded with scrap metal heading north in Baja. Someone is making $$, and Baja gets just a bit cleaner (assuming the truck keeps the load intact). Does anyone know where these trucks go? Is metal scrap offloaded to ships in Ensenada and sent to China?
