Just some of the stupid things I see

Yup, blew mine empty too. Then about bought it when the kid driving for another company blew one and stopped to check it. I came down the hill and around the corner on the interstate to see him popping out from the shoulder at 10mph. Lucky there were no 4 wheelers next to me for once and I could get around him in the left lane.

 

I saw one of those trucks just north of Bradenton FL about 3 weeks ago. The driver lost his life in that one. Seen lots of accidents in my years, but that one was probably the worst I have ever seen.
Front Right blew about 25-50 yards before an overpass, the truck went off the road, rode up the embankment of the the overpass, launched cab first into the the bottom of the overpass. The driver probably had less then a second to decide whether to try to steer left back on to the road, or steer right to try to go up and over the road. I would venture to guess that instinct told him to steer left.

everyone be careful out there. This heat is going to be around for a while yet.

BTW,driver refused to repower the load.
Would he have been in trouble if you pulled him over on your scale?

 

I don't think this pic made it in the other post.

 

Looks like something from the Red Green show!

 

Now that there is just good old fashioned pure unadulterated laziness!

 

But you weren't in the sleeper berth were you?

 

Im sure if he lost that container going down the road, he'd find out the hard way just how much responsibility he is liable for.

 

wish they would lock and dock this one...........
