It's actually my truck, I was renting the trailer from the guy who owns the yard where it rolled over. Yeah the frame seems fine. The cab is tweaked to where I don't think the windshield would ever go back in right, and the passenger side door won't hardly close and the hood is obviously done. Between that and some other work that needs done it isn't worth fixing to me. I've got a newer truck that I'm going to put the Macks trans and wet kit on
to all end dump haulers...

Man frame trailers suck
as long as your ok, if you are talking about pulling a maxi torque out for anything but scrap I’d be worried you hit your head a little to hardCon707904 Thanks this. -
Haha it's a Eaton 9 speed not much better but I'm putting it in place of a Rockwell 10 speed

Hello, Glad you were all go out unscathed. I am waiting on delivery of a 27' steel trailer for just that sort of debris. Stumps and brush. Just curious what was the reaction from the owner of the trailer? How long was that trailer, looks like a tri? Thank you

I normally see end dumps like that after a good gust of wind and sadly more often then I care to see prob last week there was 5 of them fell over 3 of which same location. glad your doing good though.

A place I delivered to in Pennsylvania has had (5) go sideways. The loader operator didn't give a time frame on all that. Looking at the yard I dumped in I don't doubt him.

@Janniboy he was pretty calm about it, mostly concerned about me being hurt. I am going to buy the trailer from him or pay to get it fixed, he still hasn't decided what he wants to do yet. Frame shop is supposed to come by and see what they think needs done. Trailer is 36 ft long. I hauled 15 loads of stumps and brush with no issues, but that was also dumping on hard flat ground. I guess that's the trick just don't dump anywhere that isn't hard and flat

Here she is boys, and lady @NightWind 2025 Mack anthem, basically a rolling football helmet
and my new 2024 Mac spread. Had plenty of new trucks working here through the years, this is the first time having a brand new trailer though.
RockinChair, motocross25 and Rugerfan Thank this. -
