    Wow the dash cammer had the calmest reaction I’ve ever seen! I suppose he knew it was going to happen, but still. Just a small chuckle and, “well we better go around,” like it’s an every day occurrence.

    Probably not when it’s 40 feet in the air, but surely he can see or at least feel SOMETHING is amiss.
     
    drvrtech77, Dflip and JSanborn103 Thank this.

    yea thats true. The truck was probably really unstable

    “oh there must be something wrong with a tire, oh well”
     
    Kyle G. Thanks this.
