    Just try to catch a case of 30 dozen eggs falling 8 feet.

    THUMP.

    The one with wait until outside temps are meeting load needs is the best. So is the classic get onto level ground. All of them are funny.

    I didn’t get a pic, but there was a container with the landing gear collapsed in at Miller Coors in Albany, GA this morning.

    And, while I was grabbing my preload, one the yard jockeys comes by (slight incline) scraping the landing gear on the ground. And, it was clear he didn’t have the trailer raised as far as he could have.

    That could contribute to collapse. You can tell if the gear have been beat up, rammer jammered, from people too lazy to raise them, then high centering them when you raise or lower them they will make a kind of ratcheting sound.
    It's the trailers version of the rattle's tail.
    Then some stooge will just pull out from under it fully loaded, gear barely down = BOOM.
