Is that an accident scene or did all the motorists just park strangely?
tinytim Thanks this. -
lol, a car hauler emptied their load and dropped their trailer in case anyone is wondering.
crb, Boattlebot, pattyj and 2 others Thank this. -
You never know with car haulers lol.I see them parked in the oddest places loading or unloading. I get that their customers are anywhere and everywhere, but still!
-
Those car haulers and Van lines always seem to do the weirdest things . I'm sure there is a reason but I see these anomalies every day
-
Trailer issue is my guess
NavigatorWife and tinytim Thank this. -
Sometimes you have to unload the entire trailer to be able to repair a broken suspension component or air line.
Sometimes you even have to unload when you get a flat because the spare tire is mounted deep in the bottom of the trailer and it's the only way to get it out.
As far as the car parking goes, when your unloaded like this (especially when un attended )you need to keep the cars protected as much as possible to minimize any damage that could occur when there off the trailer.
Also boxing them in as much as possible gives a little more security from theft when you are not there.
The few times I have had to do this over the years I was sweating bullets till I got back and had them all back on the trailer and strapped down.
With car haul there can be hundreds of thousands of dollars or more involved in cargo and unintended things can happen especially when your not there.wore out, Ke6gwf, LoneCowboy and 9 others Thank this. -
With the tractor not there, it makes sense that something broke down and perhaps they had to leave and find parts to fix it. Doesn't sound too good when you have that much cargo to have to unload and keep safeHulld Thanks this.
