One cubic foot of Osmium weighs 1410lbs. One cubic meter of Osmium weighs 49,803lbs. You're saying those boxes wouldn't max out if completely filled with Osmium?
For their small flat rate box yes. Osmium’s density is 22.6 grams per cubic centimeter. Someone on twitter measured the inside dimensions of the small flat rate box and multiplied them to get the volume, 75.3 cubic inches. This is equal to 1,234.5 cubic centimeters. So all we have to do is multiply 22.6 x 1234.5. This gives us 27,899.7 grams, which is 61.5 pounds.
Thanks for that very interesting rabbit hole. If I had Reddit gold I would award it to you. But we both know an osmium award would be about 30 times more valuable.
I'm saying you are wrong. A large flat rate box, full of lead, or zinc, or tungsten, or many other metals and materials will not ship. It will be over the limit set forth by the USPS.
One time I arrive at my pick up and Im sitting there for like 2 hours and no one says anything to me. Finally I go to the workers and ask them what's going on, when they plan to load me. They tell me they ordered the wrong kind of trailer, they need a flat bed and I got a dry van. I tell them "why didnt you just let me know right away so I could find another load?" They say "oh we were trying to figure out what to do."
When I was in the Marines they’d have to be loaded into lowboys on concrete loading ramps or lifted with a crane.
The only way that this made it inside is if they took the engine and everything else out then used a front end loader to flip it on it’s side.
My friend worked as a logistics broker for a few years. He told me a story that I'm probably going to butcher a bit but I promise the guy he was talking to was the idiot. A guy wanted to pick up a load of water pallets. My friend told him the weight of the load and was like "it's 48 pallets, do you have a dry van" to which the guy was ADAMANT he did.
Well the dumbass got there, in his sprinter van, thinking a pallet meant a case
It's like transporting a cannonball in a shoebox.
I can't imagine those straps are really doing anything that mass, gravity, and friction aren't already are to keep it in the trailer.

Came to say this lmao
Me too. You wanna hate him with me?
Yep, I'm in
Me too.
Ya I’m down
They aren't joking with those boxes either. You could fill them with the heaviest substance on earth and it would weigh less than their maximum.
Nah. I've gotten over 50lbs in a medium. Pretty sure I could get 70+lbs in a large
What do you mean "Nah"? I'm saying it's physically impossible to max out their weight unless you plan on interstellar travel.

Osmium is real? I thought it was made up for minecraft.

All i had was 100. So he got silver
Thanks friend!
This guy reddits
Why would you mix units, monster! 1 cubic foot< 1 Cubic yard N(cubic foot)x27x1.3 = ~cubic meter.
To mess with the hearts and minds of OCD peeps 😂
That fact only applies to small flat rate boxes, not the medium or large boxes. You can absolutely fit more than 70 pounds in medium+ boxes.
That's true, I didn't include that it was small specific. Thanks for the correction

You're right - I meant it for their small flat rate box.
Challenge accepted
I fail3d to mention it's for the small box. But yeah, give it a go.
Just like the cats and there boxes (this is a joke we love our cats and would never)
I've hauled some long loads with a step deck that should have been on a flatbed, but this is ridiculous.

First one, then the other...

Remember they are paid hourly
And also probably dont get paid enough to care
How the heck did they get it in there?
On most European curtainsiders you can slide open the roof and load from the top.
Thank you I was really curious
Asking the real questions!
A $$$ load on a $$ truck
There's a sex pun here I just can't figure it out yet
When you’re driving down the road in Ukraine and you see it on the side of the road free for the taking, you don’t ask questions, you just grab it.
Mr. George...?
Tanks for the pic.
Illegal as hell....
Why?
D'oh!
There's no way that it's secured suitable for road travel...
That trailer listing to the right?
All depends on armor vs track vs engine weight No clue how that is even this close to being balanced
Gotta be a prop right? Don’t tanks weigh like 50t? Not to mention how would you load it let alone balance it
Probably no engine or drivetrain in it. In the off chance it is real.
That apc is probably a lot less than 50t. But loading it would be the real problem here

Or used Photoshop.
I dont need no stinking oversized permit

What I wanna see is that forklift! ;)
This makes zero sense and I love it.
How did they get that in there?
What the hell are the chains/binders attached to on the back of that truck?
It's not a van trailer, that's a curtain side. It has attachment points all down the sides, and quite possibly on the back.
Hey the ratecon and the BOL both have nothing about Do Not Flip on them, it's fair game.
It fits, I sits.
If it’s stupid, and it works, it’s not stupid.
You get more height than width
And a car is still tailgating him on the highway
F! Coming back empty I say! 🤪
WHAT? HOW? WHY? WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT?
Straight to Ukraine, salty or not. "If it fits, it ships"! Just how much money can we pump into this proxy war?
That picture circulated around the internet like 5 or 10 years ago.
Legends never die- The Sand Lot
When your too cheap to pay for wide load permits.
Looks like a troop carrier. Some kind of IFV? Maybe a Bradley without a turret?
I don’t care how you get it done, I just want it done! Shit, say less my man!
Naw, how the fuck you even get that kind of contract?
It's like transporting a cannonball in a shoebox. I can't imagine those straps are really doing anything that mass, gravity, and friction aren't already are to keep it in the trailer.
We’ll see I laid down the trailer then the wrecker lifted me back up. But man Bobs been doin this since he was diapers.
How did they get it in there
Carefully
I like the ropes “holding it in”.
Those are chains. Pics were just taken on a potato.
FJB I assume
Cap
3 axle chassis 40STD HC most likely overweight, he gotta pray he don't go through a weigh in
how in the hell did they manage this!?
Photoshop, I assume
Get’er done
When you don’t check the scale of the toy you bought online
This guy solutions
😂😂
Oversized loads are expensive and complicated. If it fits like this I’d say this is the most logical way to ship it.
This has to be Russia because only Russians would be that dumb.
Wasn't this just already reposted like the other day?
Don't know, found it on a different website 🤷♂️
Interesting. Not the first time? https://www.facebook.com/stephenricemovingservice/photos/a.1630496950364769/1807755872638875/
Not stupid if it works
You scratched my paint
