2 Men Spot a Mom Loading a Mini Car Into Her Truck. Then They Discover Her Ingenious Method for Transporting It

A Tennessee mom is going viral for the way she loaded a mini kids' truck into the bed of her truck. She didn't film the moment herself, but bystanders caught it on TikTok. Charles (@itscharlesparkss) recorded the clip as he and a friend watched in awe while the mom handled the job solo. She clearly knew what she was doing. The only time she paused was to check on her toddler in a stroller next to the truck.

At one point, it appears they considered stepping in, but quickly realized she didn't need help. 'Tennessee momma doesn't need a man's help,' Charles writes in the caption. As of Tuesday, the video has racked up 2.4 million views. How'd She Do It? The woman started by pulling out a loading ramp labeled 'Mother Trucker.' Impressed already, the men filming hung back to watch her in action. She lifts the kids' truck by its front wheels and rests it on the ramp, which leans into the bed of her truck , leaving the toy truck nearly vertical. Then she grabs what looks like bungee cords and begins securing the vehicle with practiced ease. Once the cord tightens, the miniature truck begins to lift. 'I would help her, but I don't think she needs it,' one of the men says. 'She knows what she's doing,' the other adds. They weren't wrong. With the truck secured, she lifts the ramp and slides it into her truck's bed. 'Just slides it in,' one of the men says, obviously impressed. 'Easy peasy.' 'The world deserves to see this woman. That's impressive,' the other says. Commenters agree. One viewer pointed out that because the toy jeep was strapped to the ramp, it wouldn't budge during transport. 'The true definition of work smarter, not harder,' someone else wrote. Is It Really that Easy? Trending Now 'Thought I Was Doing Him a Favor:' Woman Tries to Tow in Husband's Ram Bighorn.

Though it may take some practice, there are safe ways to load a heavy object into a truck bed by yourself. As the Tennessee mom in Charles' video showed, ramps and a dolly are key. Start by clearing out your truck bed to make sure there's nothing in the way. Then, position your object near the tailgate and set up a sturdy ramp that's built for heavy loads . Next, use a dolly or hand truck to roll the item up the ramp. If a dolly's not available, you can also use a long, solid pole for leverage, or even a winch to pull the object up. Gloves and sturdy shoes are recommended, and having someone spot you is never a bad idea either. If you have to do any heavy lifting on your own, it's best to remember the following: bend your knees and use your legs, not your spine, for power; keep the item close to your body to help stay balanced; and use a winch if needed. Finally, once the item is loaded, use straps or ropes to secure it before driving off. You don't want all that hard work rolling around while you're on the road. Commenters Are Impressed People who watched Charles' video were largely in awe of the mom's skills. 'This needs the Reba theme song,' one joked, likely referring to country music legend Reba McEntire. 'Super mom.' 'Mama bear don't need no help,' another added. 'I love when women!!!!!' a third said simply. Many also appreciated the supportive but hands-off commentary from Charles and his friend. ''I'd help her, but I don't think she needs it.' Green flag!' one woman wrote. 'I LOVE y'all being so supportive from afar, just appreciating the method,' another said. 'Y'all are awesome too!' Others chalked the moment up to pure mom power. 'She is a mother of course she knows what she's doing,' one person wrote. Another echoed this sentiment, writing, 'As a divorced single mom of 2 kids (18 months apart), NEVER underestimate a Mother on a mission to provide for their children.'
