    large trucks like this have to stop somewhere.

    Do they? Are these big trucks necessary at all outside of a construction yard?

      uh yeah, have you ever seen a moving truck? They’re all large big box trucks, if you’ve ever been in a more affluent neighborhood you’ll have seen an RV, whether towed or not. You’ve seen garbage trucks (though those don’t really count, as do most other industry trucks)

      especially considering this is relevant to ikea.

      like i’m cool with bitching about f150s being large and shit, but trucks that are 22 feet long are a bit of a different story.

      Well at a furniture store I can understand. Maybe it’s someone from a business buying a lot of furniture.

      They should stop on the dealership lot lol.

      My friend and I used a Uhaul to move cross country once, and it was hard enough for us to park places along the way, and we could mostly fit into normal parking spaces IIRC.

      We had considered also pulling a trailer, but I have no idea how we could have gotten food in towns, parked in crowded lots, etc. It would have been a lot more planning if we had a longer vehicle.
