Great photo, except that these guys were now rich and on their way to the Hills of Beverly.

Great series of very dangerous vehicles, Mel.
Most of those vehicles were dangerous enough on their own, Earnest, but that overloading made them ever more so.

These photos triggered my own memory from southern India.
India's famous for overloaded trucks, but "live cargo" was a real surprise.

WOW! That's amazing. But judging by the symbol on the back of the truck, I would guess that it had been somehow retrofitted to sustain that kind of a load.

Fascinating and interesting and sad, Mel. Not only do people schlep stuff in vehicles, but also on their heads, especially women. Moving things from place to place sure isn’t easy for them.

Nothing is easy for them, Ellen. We take so much for granted.

Oh my goodness. This is so interesting and the pictures certainly tell the story, but it hurts me to see sad situations knowing there is nothing I can do about it!!!

Where's Pete Buttigieg when you need him? Maybe transportation rules aren't so bad after all.

You picked a great time to snap the first one, Mel. The Mercedes van is a stark contrast to the overloaded mini truck.
The Hyundai truck in #2 is interesting in that it doesn't have one bulging tire. None of them do so either they have an incredibly unsafe amount of air in them. or the loads are fairly light.
Very interesting.

Unsafe amounts of air don't cost them anything, so that's probably it. I've watched them load those things. They ain't light.
