    ran across this truck this evening, first at the loves in Wamsutter, Wyoming, and then proceeded to catch up to him at Green River, Wyoming, heading west… This is evithe kind of trash. We have going down the highway evidently anymore… It’s a company out of Florida.
    I’m pretty sure he’s not DOT legal either

    I’m curious as to where that original accident happened and how he was able to get this far with that kind of damage and never be stopped put out of service

    No ICC bumper, appears a piece of it is hanging in picture. Also appears the brackets for tail lights are still somewhat there but lights themselves are gone lol. I'm wondering if he backed up too far and ripped it off on a snow/ice bank or possibly when leaving dock didn't wait for green light/ still hooked.

    Who knows, I don't have the same mindset to even imagine how this is possible. To your point that he made it that far, I've seen cops go right past trucks with "No lights on whatsoever" and do nothing.

    I think Florida is home to some of the biggest losers in trucking.

    Or, he was rear-ended during the recent mayhem at the 266. Either way, no excuse for running like that.

    Maybe he passed through St. Louis and got caught up in the wrecks there.
    Whatever happened it did a number on that trailer.
