Why is someone shipping what looks like a giant block of concrete in a shipping container? Is that possibly granite or some other building stone material?

marble?

Perhaps the stone wasn't properly secured, some hard braking was involved, and the shipping container was possibly placed on backwards. Then the cab was redesigned to look like the new concept Husqvarna SMQ.  [laugh]
Bwooooooahhh

I can see the line of thinking....


"shouldn't we tie this down?"

"pffft,  it weighs 100 tons, it wont move you idiot...."

That's exactly what I was thinking too.  [laugh]

But even if it were some kind of building material like marble or granite I'd still expect them to slice it before shipping it. Hmmm... Unless maybe it's going from the quarry to the factory but I would expect the factory to be at the quarry to save money on shipping something so ginormous.

Poor driver, my ass. He's responsible for tying down his load.  I guess if the container was sealed at Customs, he'd have an out.

Looking at the Chinese writing, I'm lead to believe that it might be a huge block of tofu.  [coffee]

Furthermore, if I'm not mistaken, those containers only have doors on one side. So why is the door not in the back?  Hmm yes.


erkishhorde

Good catch. I also noticed that the driver's side door is closed. Probably jammed shut. Doesn't look like the passenger door is open either. I think the driver had to climb out through the windshield.  [roll]
