The Truckers’ Report flatbed Hall of Shame.

And I’ll add myself to the hall of shame( pic in next message). A permitted load with a pole car in front of me. He fails to call out that he hit a wire and after stopped we learned it broke the top of his pole so I know he hit!! I’m permitted at 14’11. The wire we learned based on the damage was hanging around 13’5. Sherriff and state trooper investigate and verify that where I tore the wire up at they’ve been doing work there and the cable contractor must’ve let a wire sag. Yes I was on my permitted route and I’ve been running the same exact load through this route since September......

 

I was actually thinking that too.. Maybe the pole car did notice it but truck couldnt get slowed in time. Fumbling the mic or waiting for a super trucker to finish his life story on 19 could be all it took. Who knows.

 

... Meanwhile i passed a single axle columbia with a mini 5 gooseneck hotshot carhauler around greensboro shortly after the oversize bridge haircut...

Im like why is there 2 cars all the way up top and NOTHING down below? Thats swayin alot, seems pretty high centered and tippy, its wagging and hes crawlin along.. I dont get it.. Why wouldnt he lower the top deck when he unloaded the bottom cars?

Oh i see.. Because the ones on top are UNSECURED.

Not my circus, not my monkeys. Blinker, loud pedal, peace.

 

No I don’t run 19 when being escorted unless on the interstate. I was on backup channel and on a US highway....

 

Is that a plumb bob mounted the front of the load?

 

Height stick

 

this is the most Shameful flatbed load I seen all day.

 

Sad thing is someone will take it. Few years ago when I was running up that way. Epes had a load out of Camden paying $0.76 pm. It was gone in less than 2hrs.

 

That's a quick turnaround too. Team load?
