i forgot i had a trailer again

Saw it happen to a Schneider van driver once. He was leaving the Pilot off I-81 at the Baileyton, TN exit getting ready to hit the road. Only problem is, he forgot about the drainage ditch next to the entrance and when the trailer axles went in, it actually LIFTED his drives a good foot and a half off the ground. Didn't hang around to see if a wrecker arrived to pull him out.

 

The Swift truck in the OP video ran into that ditch at night. I have a spotlight next to the drivers seat for situations just like that. Trying to run on dirt roads, looking for an oil rig on a moonless night would be much more challenging without the spot light. I can light up signs or look down dirt cow paths for a couple hundred yards.

 

Outside the Schneider OC in Houston last year.

 

^De ja vu like a mother *******! This time at night instead of broad daylight.
