    I always have a hard time figuring out how this kind of thing happens. I mean, really, did the driver just forget they had a trailer attached?

    My guess is that they were in line for the fuel lane closer to the camera, but the driver on the lane he was actually in at the time of the photo finished first.

    The driver might have then shifted from one approach lane to another, and then forgotten he was off-tracking his trailer from the other lane as he left the fuel island. Instead of pulling far left to stretch out and clear the pumps, they pulled straight out or slightly to the right... Bang.

    I just came back to the Creaffer family after 7 yrs elsewhere and asked for a manual if available. I got an older Prostar with a manual... it's a little beat up, but it runs and pulls like a freight train

    I just got moved into a 2021 Cascadia with an auto, and it will most likely be the straw that broke the camel's back as far as my future here. It is truly one of the most frustrating, infuriating, and annoying trucks yet. Makes me wish I still had my Mack Pinnacle with an mDrive.

    Only way it could is with some wire cutters. The sound effects for the OnGuard and lane departure crap are louder than a mall arcade...and I haven't found out where to turn down the volume
