Interstate 75 in Florida can be an entertaining stretch of road thanks to the countless number of vehicles hauling things. Big things and little things. Heavy equipment, kayaks for a family vacation and crates of oranges on their way to points north are just some of the items you might see.

Every now and then something appears that will make heads turn. On May 4, 2024 just north of Tampa on I-75, a flatbed truck was cruising along in the right lane and it provided one of those moments where you might not believe what you are seeing. No need to describe it. Just watch the video!
