    About 58k if it was a full bottled water load.

    I guess putting a trailer jack stand under it wasn’t an option or even a tractor.
    I personally wouldn’t go under mine even just to grease it.

    Sad that he lost his life over something that was definitely preventable..Maybe someone else will learn from it.

    What a shame……….Someone knew the landing gear were broken and repair service was called in and yet they still thought it would be smart to drop the trailer loaded with broken landing gear.
