    He didnt swing wide enough,its more believable than a pot hole,and some of the roads in MI are #### like the entire I96.

    What they're not telling you is the BOL showed a whopping 350 kegs on the trailer and they could only account for 300 when the fire crew was done. Hey firefighters need beer too.

    I haul beer all the time kegs are sidewise on a special pallet....not down the center of the trailer...you simply have to strap the top last row down and nothing is moving...I think he got a little close to the edge...but thats SWIFT.

    I was unaware a truck frame was so... Flexible. Lol. Maybe it's the shadow but it looks like the steer tires are still on the ground, yet the rear of the tractor is all twisted upward.

    From what I can gather the driver didn't swing wide enough to make the turn because he was too busy trying to avoid the pothole.

    When you have a keg load they are loaded right down the center, as seen below just with more kegs.

    These beer loads do move around a bit, just ask this yard driver:

    I think that they load them like the above picture when there are only a few pallets of kegs...if he had 300+ that sounds like a whole truck of kegs. Back when I hauled beer, our loads were never like that either. When I have had whole truck loads of kegs, they're on their side on special pallets, wall to wall and a couple straps to keep them from rolling off the top is all I ever needed.
