    I bet that driver thought he was going to end up swimming.

    Im surprised the car carrier designed for a 3000 pound car held the 12,000 pounds steers without failure. Someone wasn't paying attention

    Yeah, I'm guessing the other side of the trailer isn't quite as straight as this side. :biggrin_2559: You can bet catching it the way he did the corner of the trailer likely cleaned off the bottom of the cooling package as it rode up, too.

    Looks that was a hard hit...think it kinda pushed the axle back a little on the swift? Where and when did this happen?

    Yeah, I didn't notice until I found that other pic that he'd lasso-tied that pickup. And the hook is still attached to the ratchet end. hmmmmm

    I wondered the same thing...if that tanker had leaked though, all hell would break loose. That car-hauler kissed ### literally :biggrin_2559:
