Truck hauling paper rolls, rolls over in a truck stop

Yup.

 

You mean like this 3 days ago.

Man fatally struck by turning big rig in South Carolina truck stop parking lot

 

On a ladder he had no place to go what a scary thought. Rip

 

Wouldn't ya know. Swifts once in a few thousand crashes where their truck is in the frame of the shot to smile and say, nope, wasn't us this time.

 

Photos like these are why I just refused a load of em. No company could pay me enough to do it

 

Or he could have done this. Tandems all the way back. Concentrated load.

 

The problem in the photos wasn't the paper rolls, it was a careless driver who thinks he must speed anywhere and everywhere he goes. These types of drivers have difficulty enough simply pulling empties.

 

Back in the 1990's the company I work for hauled #45000 single coils out of Inland Steel to Houston, TX on flatbeds. The rolls of paper are not that bad.

 

Ten dash four, I hauled a LOT of paper rolls, and I mean a LOT. Both ways, to the rail from N. Wis., and picked up rolls from on the rail. Many on containers that had no sliders, and I don't ever recall having a problem, aside from those pesky chicken coops.
