Preventable or not. Just another day trucking in the patch. We work in the most challangeing conditions anywhere in the world. We see this stuff often. We take pictures, laugh and head to the next job. Equipment is always replaceable. As long as everyone goes home in one piece, it's all good.
MassHole, lostNfound and thelongwalker Thank this. -
Awesome pics. How many of those guys do you figure kept their jobs?
After a few of them I was thinking "I had no idea nate980 had worked for so many different companies" lol
I hope to be out there in January Nate, you will be sure to have lots of opportunities to get some payback. -
Hey now.... Lol I'm not that bad of a driver. Yesterday was the slippierest mud I had ever driven in. I'm going straight down the road and my trailer was sliding for the ditch.I'm heading up to red earth tomorrow so I hope I don't repeat what happened there again.
Opt's rright though. No one made fun of me or got mad when I ended up in the ditch. Everyone just said #### happens and they got me out. -
awesome pics, looks like it could be stressful at times

As far as the slippery mud, do you run at least one chain on your trailer? Your experience yesterday sure shows the need for it. -

1. Trucks don't tip trucks over trailers do so if you have to bury your truck in the ditch to keep your trailer on the road do it.
2. It's not going in the ditch that flops you over its the sudden stop at the bottom so if your headed towards the ditch just turn into it and go all the way off the road before stopping then get pulled out rather than stood back up.
I have been driving in the patch for twelve years moving drilling rigs and those two pieces of advice have helped me tremendously.cariboo_kid and Wymon Thank this. -
