999 cases of beer on the truck… 999 cases of beer… You pull a case down, and open it up… 998 cases of beer on the truck. This could take all weekend!

Not a Beer Truck. It looks like a Customer Truck Service Truck. Hauling a load of empty bottles. Dang there goes the party. He was definitely driving to fast.
