Lumber Goes Through Cab

Bingo!

 

I love those chrome parking brake knobs though! You gotta be high ranking in the super trucker club to earn those!

 

My employer have our T680 brake force turned down to 5%, because of the randomness these systems engage. It slows the truck, but, definitely doesn’t throw a driver forward into the shoulder belt like full application would. I’ve gotten accustomed to just slamming the throttle down, to override it. Cruddy system.

 

A headache rack probably would have prevented a lot of damage in this situation. Looks like the majority of the boards went through the glass but I bet there's some damage to the back of the cab. Truck will probably be in the body shop for a few weeks and come out with a 5 figure repair bill.

 

yeah, i have to say, load securement sucked.

 

Yep.....it's pretty surprising as it seems to happen when it's least needed.
Doesn't speak to the whole 'load securement' dealeo though

 

Must be related to this guy, or they went to the same short bus seat warming academy for their load securement training.

That's a theft deterrent...he couldn't figure out how to attach "The Club" to the sticks
