That moving truck from Denver to Phoenix taught me about ramps
I was helping my college buddy move out of his third-floor walkup in downtown Denver last August. We rented this big Penske truck thinking it would be easy, but they only gave us one rickety ramp that kept sliding every time I tried to walk a dolly up it. About halfway through loading his couch, the ramp buckled and the whole thing tipped sideways, scratching the hell out of his new floor model TV that was still in the box. I had to run to a hardware store nearby and bought a sheet of plywood for $28 to brace the ramp so it wouldn't flex. We ended up finishing three hours later than planned, and my back was sore for days. Has anyone else had a rental company just toss you a worn-out ramp without checking it first?
