Mines 2 years old and I've been driving the last 13 months. It was 100% my fault and 100% preventable and I was terminated for it. Western express accepted me but I found a better gig with a 20 truck outfit. Still not doing what I want but I'm paying the bills and still driving. Not a road I would recommend anyone take.

The question may be, if you want to go back after putting it in a ditch on it's side...
-
Once the chitchat gets rolling during dinner at the truckstop you'd be surprised how many drivers admit to rolling a truck.
I'm just wondering why my inability to get one to roll over doesn't increase my value much.Rusty Trawler, Toomanybikes and Chewy352 Thank this. -
Do these tales include hauling missiles?
-
I have the same problem. It'll throw the seats through the windshields before it goes over. But at least i don't have that braking problem when idiots get in front of me. I'd be burning the truck to the ground and telling Frieghtliner the truck was defective.
-
Just like getting thrown from a horse, or laying down a bike. GET BACK IN THE SADDLE AND RIDE!Chewy352 Thanks this.

What are the common causes of roll overs? Wind? Turning too fast? Sliding off the road in ice? Thankfully I have never even came close to rollover but it seems like it happens quite a bit and I was curious the common causes.
-
Yes you can start into a turn a little too fast then roll it over by jerking your steering wheel while hitting some potholes or hitting the brakes in a panic like if ice or snow is on road a steering tire can hit a slick spot then when it gets on hard road it can jerk truck into a rollover if you are driving too fast!
-
All that, plus making quick direction changes, often to avoid some jackarse that has cut you off, or to avoid an animal in the road.
EASY DOES IT! The best thing to remember. No harsh, or quick changes. There is a pretty good chance that if you go into the barrow ditch, it will lay over.snowlauncher and Grijon Thank this. -
You can take a curve too slow a hundred times, but only once going too fast
