    That's a shame, made it all those years only to fall victim to a lousy modern driver that can't secure a load. When I got my 1st trucking job, part of the "training" was looking at pictures of truck wrecks. Many were just like this and the drivers were usually killed, as this one would have surely been. I think it was a Dodge.
    In an unrelated note, mjd gets the award for every post in the "related" category. I still say I hope it's not bad karma,,,:salute:

    In my case my truck is always getting hit.
    Incidentally, the company put me in a new Freightliner about 3 weeks ago.

    At first I thought it was a 40-47 Dodge like uncle Kinner had, but it’s not. Dodge door handle is below the body lines.

    Truck in the article is a Chevy or GMC…..

    Either way, the driver would be a lot slimmer. I think it was common for the box on a straight truck to come loose crunching the cab in a situation like this.
