    I'm surprised he could even hit something that big without realizing it.. It's odd that it didn't hang the trailer up much.

    Dam, this is a heavy load. But I just delivered? Must be a brake hanging? Oh well.

    He didn't just knick the curb. He was 4' inside it. The boulders were there to keep dumb drivers from running over the plants. Now they need to put something there to keep them from running over the boulders. And he went the wrong way around the turn around?

    Someone hurry and fire this driver. Put a whole bunch of stuff on his DAC and don't even let him drive a golf ball.

    At least wasn't a Swifty this time. I saw a video on youtube of a Swifty eating up the raised median trying to make a turn. How do you not know you're dragging something like that?

    Was the driver paid by the mile or by weight?

    Aww come on.. it's obvious the trailer airfoils must have sucked that rock under the truck and caused this incident and the driver's just a victim!

    Before I saw the picture of a Knight truck, I thought sure it would be a Western Express.:biggrin_255::biggrin_255:
