Moving Truck Woes

My heart goes out to the folks who sold their house and are moving out of state. They are on a budget so decided to rent a moving truck, load it themselves, and pull their car behind.

It was a lot of work but all went well. Finally the truck was loaded, the car was on the trailer hitched to the back, and the kids were in the cab. Then it happened. They got on I-25 and the steering wheel started to shake. It got worse the faster they drove. Forty miles an hour and he could hardly keep the truck on the road.

Back to to the truck rental office they went. Man, I sure hope they get a big deduction on the cost of that truck because they have to move all their stuff to a different truck. They are bone tired, not to mention the extra time it will take. Lesson learned – test drive the rental truck on the highway BEFORE loading it up!
