Prime flat bed had a bad day

You can't stay in the cab in the right lane but load shift is not excusable. DRIVER fault!

 

Things like that happen. Truck driving is not an exact science.

 

The question is "why did that happen." So... perhaps he made an emergency stop to avoid some idiot four-wheeler with a penchant for inadvertent suicide by truck?

You don't know, but it's always easier to blame the driver of the truck with big letters on the side of the trailer.

Reminds me of a gal who rolled her truck on I70 near the I270 split in Maryland. There were 5 pages of "how bad Prime drivers are." When the final story was released a year later, it turns out that she had to go into the median (causing the rollover) because of a UPS double with open doors on the rear pup. A large piece of steel cargo tumbled out of the back leaving her no choice. MSP caught up with the double... back door still open. After the lawsuit, UPS paid for truck, trailer, medical expenses and some severe fines.

...but it's always more satisfying to blame the driver of the large training carrier.

 

Cargo is supposed to be secured in a manner to keep it in place in any event short of an accident. In fact if there was no accident and the cargo came off the truck it is the drivers fault.

 

Musta worked... didn't mention dead bodies on the ground. Seems a small price to pay to keep the 4-wheel congenital idiots on the road alive and polluting the gene pool.

 

Yup. POV drivers and the media aren't the only ones blaming truck drivers right away. We even blame ourselves.

 

Its always the trk drivers fault don't ya know.Which is one of the hidden requirements in this industry.{take the blame and deal with it}

 

That does seem odd in the left lane,that's not a conjested area unless he was going to make a left turn.It could have been a real dangerous situation had his load went thru the cab.Sounds like straps loosened while enroute.Just a specualtion but I think had he made more stops to make sure load is secured good and tight this wouldn't have happened.

 

But officer sir,things like this happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ya he'll let it go.Just like Prime will with a preventable.
