    Man, how bad would that have to suck. Think he just forgot to strap it down or what? Maybe a good deal on a slightly used(new) car though.

    Yeah, that was a little disappointing wasn't it. The unit was probably even salvageable too ......... 1 out of 10 for originality .........:biggrin:

    I'm willing to bet there was nothing (straps or chains). Probably backed it on ..... big hurry ...... talking to the shipper and got out of routine ...... forgot the 2 chains or straps (cheating) ...... raised the deck (maybe didn't even pin it) ..... and went on down the road.

    If there was even ONE chain or strap, it at least would have come off at an angle until that strap or chain let go ..........

    JMHO

    I may never again say this in my life... I believe the taping driver was a 4-wheeler. On the off chance they happen to read this... Paying attention to the road saved you a ####-load of annoyance and heartbreak. Please continue to do so... Even if it does mean you're videoing our blunders.

    Anyways. Looks like no one was hurt, maybe an ego but lesson learned. Whatever that may be.

    Nice bouncing stop - clearly the suspension and PARK gear on the tranny are (were) in good shape ......

    I would of liked to have seen the video where the guy had an SUV on the top deck, raised up and went under a bridge and peeled that SUV right off of the trailer.

    I used to have pics of a 4-car rollback that took the one off the roof and stood it vertically between the bridge and the #2 car. Stuck it hard enough to banana the frame of the unit on #2.

    Not much in vids, but if you Google "carhauler hits bridge" you'll get some pics that will just make you cringe.
