    Anyone that says mind your own business about seeing a trailer like this on the road and reporting it is insane, if it was your family member or something that got hurt or worse by this trailer falling apart on the highway, you would be singing a different tune, ever hear of someone trying to save life's? That's exactly what this guy shooting the video was doing and I give props to him, we all need to stick together and have eachothers back out on the road but don't be a moron hauling a trailer that can fall apart and kill someone!!!

    Well said ^ I am not that diplomatic. But matches my sentiments.

    Ive always thought that if we do not regulate our own, it will be regulated against us.

    it's inevitable, someone else regulating us. actually, been going on for decades.

    since we never got together as a group those past decades, we have NO ONE to blame, but ourselves.

    Yea. I watched it. A law at a time.

    It's time we stood up and fight for those few Professionals left out there who give a ####.

    There is a movement to make society in America think it's somehow against the law to film. But as long you are a public place, it is absolutely open season becuase no one, not even the police have any expectation of privacy.

    I shoot trains with camera now and then, but with a tripod in my truck bed and gone before anyone gets called out to my secret spots. Post 9-11 people have gotten crazy with that stuff. It's not as fun as it used to be.

    there just ain't too many of us left.

    we are either retired, or about to retire, many have died young, before retirement.

    the "new generation" of truckers will have to step up to the plate and do something, rather than rely on us old timers to do it for them.

    many may give a crap, but many still DO NOT band together, nor never will in mass numbers to be of any voice to be heard. about the only voice we have is if drivers join an organization such as OOIDA, who has the legal staff and know how to present a solid case in D.C.

    And you know that how?

    It could have been on the side of the road spit open or in a dirt lot somewhere collapsed. I have seen just that enough times.
