    Why? You don’t want to make a bad situation worse? It’s not like it’s a mud bog contest

    No. I just stand on the other side of the spectrum on this one than you. 98% of the time I'm in completely agreement with ya, this just happens to be 2% of the times im not.

    Also keep in mind every statement I've made in this post has been in relation to the pictures posted in the op.

    Maybe it's cause i write the check but I see this as a lot bigger screw up than the typical business as usual mistakes or getting stuck in a job site. I see a guy that didn't get stuck on a job site. I see a guy that over cut a corner by 15 freaking feet due to either a moment of not caring or careless combined with simply not using his mirrors. And when the engine bogged down once that first trailer axle started to sink he didn't have the brain power or didn't care enough to stop before he made it worse. He hammered it so hard he tore the icc bar all to hell and put that trailer into such a bad twist it will never be right again. That frame rail isn't just going to pop back straight and taking it to a frame shop will only manage to get it halfway straight. Its permanently twisted. Also if you look closely there isn't a single piece of edge protection under those straps, that tells me this guy doesn't care or is an idiot. Its habitual for him. And nothing is more dangerous than a driver who is either an idiot or has a habit of not caring. My opinion is he is a very dangerous combination of not caring with a lack of brain power.

    And that's how #### gets broken. This isn't a jeep out mudding. It's a highway specced tractor with 45k lbs or more on the deck

    Things are already broke so its just a matter of mitigating the broke and a wrecker bill goes a long way towards that.

    Not a thing wrong with frame on that trailer either. He couldn't have chosen a better load to do that with.
