    I'd probably need to buy some new shorts, and maybe drivers seat!

    Hope they find some camera coverage of the other truck. He was lucky, I wonder if he'll secure the load any different in the future.


    Maybe safety classes should use some of these pictures and videos for securement classes.

    OMG!!
    And he's just sitting there? Or is he pinned in? He must be frozen in place with fear!

    30 yrs. ago my husband told me about someone he knew that the rolls of steel kept rolling when he had to avoid a 4-wheeler and the driver died. Hubby said he'd never drive a semi, yet here we are.

    This will give me nightmares tonight.

    Oh Snizzzle!!! I need a new pair just looking at the pictures. Just when I was getting comfortable with the thought of pulling a flat bed. Uhh think I'll take the chance of some boxes of beef coming through the sleeper. We back quiet~~~~~~

    Stuff like that scares the tar outta me. Doesn't help any that my bf just delivered a huge (in my opinion) coil that was suicide loaded. I don't worry about most loads but those I do. That driver definately gave his road angel a workout.
     
    NavigatorWife and Dinomite Thank this.

    I don't know much about flat beds but can that steel plate prevent this from happening..?

    It looks like those were curved steel tubing? It appears that if those had of been straight it wouldn't have ended as well...
