really prime?

Lucky it didn't roll. Just goes to show ya that you can never be to careful when watching your mirrors. I'd hate to be in his shoes at the moment.

 

There's a job waiting to be lost.

 

With all that room I wonder why he didn't cut it wider?

 

Believe that is part of their required training..............

 

Maybe was a student with trainer sleeping,...Maybe the intersection was not lit and it was raining heavily,...Maybe the driver was actually an idiot,maybe not,..You never know,...I think tho, If I saw my trailer leaning that far over, for whatever reason, and perhaps on soft ground,I would have disconnected as fast as humanly possible too,...to save the tractor. Trailers are much cheaper to fix after a roll. At worst, now only the trailer needs dealing with by a single wrecker. Most of the time, when the truck goes too, quite often 2-wreckers are needed to upright it.

Many people see things like this and just pass it off as a stupid manuver. Without details of what actually happened, I try not to pass jugement. The second picture reveals that the trailer is also not very far from the pavement either. A rookie driver could have easily mistaken the gravel area as being safe and turned sharper to get around another truck comming out. it is in fact well clear of the darker, grassy area.

It is a cool pic nonetheless.

 

That turn is so wide why? I have been at that truckstop many a times. That is just baffling.

 

is it just the pic or is his driver side landing gear off the friggin ground!!
