    Isn't that the rule for all truck driving?

    I thought the first rule was to make stupid money, and keeping the rubber side down just helped that last longer?

    What you can see of the terrain in those pics makes a rollover seem unlikely, any idea what happened?

    Was west of estevan in husky world, the driver seemed okay, he was in the field behind with his kit eating his lunch. Didn't get much out of him conversation wise besides the fact he was from Ontario and just started working out here. He declined to pose beside the truck either, guess he was having a bad day or something.

    Not sure exactly how it happened ck, the lease they were drilling was 300 m up the road so I assume he drove past the entrance. It kind of looked like he may have tried to back up into the field to turn around and hooked the ditch beside the entryway. Either way he was hooped as he obviously didn't get out to check beforehand, the field was wet plowed mud and his truck woulda buried itself even if he hadn't gone over the ditch.

    Having a bad day? I wonder why? lol

    That's the end of the money for him I'd imagine. Nice straight road to back up, should have kept it simple.

    Actually, the first rule is: "Never put your fingers where you wouldn't put your #####."

    But I put my fingers in allot of places before I stick anything else in, so that rule makes no sense!
