Very true - had an experience to rent a Bobcat skid-steer loader. Went through the check-out - no problems, nothing mentioned.
Flippin' A - truck was huffin' and puffin' to get up to 35 mph through town, and since I didn't have the trailer brakes hook-up - gave new meaning to standing on the brakes to stop. Even got pushed through one intersection after a light rain.
On taking it back and mentioning my challenges - the rental guy shared that this was a 13,000 pound load with the trailer and that they usually don't let it off the lot with anything less than a 3/4 ton - but I looked like I had some sense.
Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good :-)
