    Driver drove in at 5 mph and left at 20 mph as he hit the bump it snagged the top is my guess

    Thats the way the 8 mule trains went in and out all the time. When the building was new. Way back when.

    Beats me,first time I’ve heard of a hot tub being hauled in a can. For all we know the container chassis the driver had probably had spring suspension instead of air ride.
    Now that the steel support beam was knocked out the container is bearing the load of the building structure,probably the only thing holding it together.

    It could also be that he hit the brakes too hard when exiting the building. That’ll cause the rear of the trailer to raise up. I watched an air ride dry van punch a hole in the top of the trailer when the driver got on the brakes delivering a show load in the basement dock area of an arena.

    Hottubs are not that heavy why did he not leave the same way he got in?

    Stomping brakes hop the trailer suspension. SMASH.

    Anything else? I couldnt tell you. I did not drive the truck or hit anything.
