Trucker loses battle with heavy cargo and topples
Looks like inexperience and too much speed for the corner. He swings wide in the turn. The rest is history.

It says he got a non preventable and they loaded him wrongly or something but thankfully it doesn't look like anyone got hurt
Dave_in_AZ and lovesthedrive Thank this. -
At .04 seconds, you see the 4 wheeler hitting the ditch before they even went over, what was that, a reefer?

Just glance through again they blaming the shipper because they put a heavy engine on top of the fifth wheel
Dave_in_AZ Thanks this. -
Just looking at it it doesn't look like he was taking that curve too fast. Looks like a load shift from improper loading.

Comprehension of our wonderful English Language goes overboard when it's reduced to one syllable words.
"WTF? (CC phrased it as wtduck?)

i found it interesting, the 4 wheelers passing by....
which leads me to say, screw them if they wreck, just mosey along....Dave_in_AZ, lovesthedrive, D.Tibbitt and 2 others Thank this. -
The racks are holding either 2 or 3 engines and are designed to stack 2-3 high depending on engine. All engine loads I've ever pulled are 42-46K and loaded nose to tail
It was heavy sure, but very unlikely top heavy. And this was from "Crash and Roll Stunt Team" so I'll tend to think he was simply going too fast for conditions (curve)Bean Jr., Bud A., HoneyBadger67 and 7 others Thank this. -
Dave_in_AZ Thanks this.
