I opened this thread expecting to find that thing had been dropped on I-45.

I'm not sure how many broke recent grads have apartments with living rooms large enough for that spool.

Well crap. I thought for sure that twine would hold it on top of my Mini.

We were expecting a delivery in west texas that probably will not make it now.

Gotta hand it to the hourly guy that coiled it. It stayed tight through the worst of times.

Fortunately for you, this one wasn't headed to West Texas. It was being shipped abroad.

Someone should have told them the port was the other way.

I'm half joking, but unless they were heading for Mexico that wouldn't be the logical route from Taneris.

I was eating in my car in a parking lot off 610 once many years back, and a truck carrying a trailer with a bracket holding a large spool of flexible duct much like that one went by on the feeder and hit a pothole, and the spool came loose and rolled off the back of the trailer. The ground was slightly sloped downwards towards the light at the overpass just a bit further down, and I watched the driver's surprise as the spool rolled past him and through the intersection as he slowed to stop at the light. Fortunately it just rolled past and into a ditch.

The shipper and trucking company who can't figure out how to manage an oversize load need to be fined.

I was just thinking I'm pretty sure I've seen this before, and then I relooked at the OP timestamp
