    They are kind of like the trees here Dave, roots just don't go deep enough and a slight breeze will knock them over!

    Try tearing off the firewall snow gaurd behind the steer. Ive got pictures somewhere. What happened was I was at a shipper whose concrete pad was a 6 sided geometric fantasy that made it impossible to do the standard sight side back. Next thing i know the front steer was on the ground a foot down and it caused the trailer to pinch the right hand drive forward tires pinning me.

    That was one of the few times I asked boss for a wrecker. But the yelling started so, I went ahead and ripped it out backwards when the steer pinched its mud gaurd.

    During storms watch the ground around the trees, if it is breathing, then the tree is not deeply rooted and will probably come down.

    It's been his Karma (or luck?) as of late; I'm sure he's got his ways of getting out; we only see the "stuck in here!" pictures, LoL~!

    I especially like the orange warning things that they put around the bollard. As if some trucker is going to come along and try to finish it off.
