    Seen that before ... turning too tight with a container, then trying to back out of the turn. Can landing gear are not the regular 3 foot back from the front of the chasis, they are only 2.5 ft. Most Volvo's can't do cans unless the fifth wheel assembly is moved back at least 4 inches then reattached to frame.

    This might be the answer. It's a Mack Pinnacle.

    I got a closer look at it this morning when I left. It's no prank. Those mud flap hangers are twisted and bent steel.

    I was told it would happen pulling a UPS pup if I didn't drop my mudflaps when I was doing seasonal back in December.

    I married a "a father's daughter" .... since all he got from his loins was girls, #2 got the gift of wood, tools, and tinkering, she did everything with her father, motors, building, repairing, painting, cement/mortar, plumbing, and from her mother, gardening, and cooking. She has 3 Home Depot cards, all the department stores, and the worst card in her wallet....AMAZON! Between her and her mother and a couple other female types here....a day doesn't go by without at least one new box arriving. Many days we will have UPS, FedEx, OnTrak, and USPS on our driveway.

    Interesting news from Placerville (Communist state conservative headquarters)....turns out that our local Sherriff got word that ANTIFA had announced over one of the social media platforms that they were moving up the slope from Sacramento to "spread the word"... a couple biker groups got the word (usually enemies) (Hells Angels and Mongols) decided to stop this upslope aggression together and responded with "IF you come up here, bring your own body bags, you're going to need them!) The local Sherriff, didn't want this conflagration in his county, made a phone call to the Governor (another very odd occurance) who then sent 25 fully armed Guard members to back up the local LEO's. Evidently ANTIFA actually fears the bikers and moved over the hill to Reno and then Reno saw it's first ever riot.
    Enough breaking news...back to pizza and cats....our best pizza up here is Mountain Mikes....
