    I don't get it. He was trying to back up where? Also don't see that curb they say he hit in the pic.

    Well, it looks to me he didn't get all the way over to the right and use all the space to make the turn.

    Those Texas underpass uturns you have to use every inches to make that swing and when he popped the curb it put the roof in the underpass.

    Then in a state of oh ####, he probably tried to back out of it but by then he already made his bed.

    Based on the damage to the trailer, methinks he gave it more throttle when he met resistance. Double down on stupid.

    ^^Volvo tractors always did have sensitive throttles. Give it too much that tractor will lurch. Give it too little you'll get a clutch overheat/overload warning(I-Shift models,but I think Averitt has manual transmissions in their tractors).
