The bidding is interesting, it's a reverse auction that almost ends up being like a dare.
Driving the price down seems a way more risky venture than say driving the price up on Storage Wars. If you drive the price up and it ends up getting dumped on you, you at least have the opportunity to find something hidden in the locker and hit it big. In driving the price down on Shipping Wars, if it gets dumped on you, you have to do all the work, waste your time, gas, and wear and tear on your vehicle and what do you get out of it? The low ball amount you underbid.
Only an idiot would plan to drive cross-country with a trailer that wasn't his that didn't have any plates on it. I could see maybe going across town or even a few hours away, but to think that you can go cross country without ever seeing a cop is just plain stupid.
Are the drivers responsible for doing the packaging and loading? It seems to very from job to job.
The license plate on the commercial bumpers is "SHP HPPNS" that's pretty funny.
I don't think I'd let that idiot Jarrett try to take the drive shaft apart on anything I owned, especially since all he was using was a screw driver.
When they are loading the burger family into the truck in the background you can see this:
1. How awesome would it be to own your own McDonalds Playland equipment.
2. If you ever talk to anyone who played on this as a kid they will tell you one and only one story: "I was able to climb up it without any problem, but somehow it was physically impossible to climb back down. So in the end my parents had to pull me through the bars to get me out."
When Jarrett got the ticket for driving without plates, which every sane person who has ever driven a car knew was bound to happen, the map showed him as being in Arkansas but the paperwork for the ticket was clearly from New York.
That horse went from Ripley's believe it or not in what appeared to be downtown Manhattan to a Ripley's in Florida. You would assume this Ripley's would be somewhere close to all the theme parks, but no it appeared to be some tourist trap rest stop on the side of a podunk stretch of road.
"Double Down and Bean Town" 1-10-12
I like the star ratings on the name overlay, it gives a good sense of knowing at what level each of the characters is at. But they haven't shown one for the married couple that's odd.
I think he drank more gas than he siphoned.
I understand Roy was a day late getting the phone booth to Chicago, but wouldn't it be the sellers fault for not having access to the area because it was the weekend and not the shippers fault for being late. Also I wonder who exactly lists the shipping auction.
What did Scott & Susie do that made them four days late in delivering those boats?
Well that's the first two episodes of Shipping Wars, it seems like a decent enough little show, not ground breaking or award winning television by any means, but a nice piece of fluff entertainment.
