    I agree after dark.

    A office building surrounded by cars is one big clue trucks dont go in there.

    That lack of a connection between the two is deliberate. There is a beautful entry exit on bottom of that truck trailer facility.

    So many things that tell me not to take truck into and he goes ahead and does it. I rule this one preventable.

    One of the things that I usually consider is the state of the earth especially if it has rained recently and the nature of the ground. That ditch wont accomodate a 18 wheeler for sure, and here we are.

    Sometimes for those who are blessed with a hard head for taking knocks for doing stuff that are not very wise.

    CR has trainees training trainees.... I thought I'd be nice and assist one backing into a spot. Both 'drivers' claimed to be in training.

    There is mud on the tires in the 2nd photo. There is no way it coasted there because someone forgot to set the brakes, forward or backward. I like the in the dark/foggy possibility, he saw that driveway gate, thought there was a driveway he could use. Also looks like the end of the building where trucks are strictly verboten.

    I'm thinking he tried to back out after realizing the oopsie. That would explain the dug in landing gear. Truck looks like its sitting on the tanks too.

    Oh well, property will have a nice bike path after this.

    I agree, that’s probably about right. I know it was a little foggy this morning, but not foggy enough to where someone could differentiate between black top and grass. There’s a lot of grass between the blacktop and drainage ditch. And I only saw what looked like one driver, no one helping.

    My opinion, it looks like the driver attempted to drive on the grass and up that shallow ditch to get back onto the pavement.

    Would work in a 4x4. Better luck next time.
