    I was in a truck route in Arkansas not long ago that had two tires like that.. I made it but the road sucked, across the Ozark mountain range. Drop off on one side, could see where peopled dropped trailers off road.
    I was going south, had to take the whole road to make it, cars behind me, but they were patient, actually, guess they watching and waiting for disaster.

    It's almost as if he forgot he was pulling a trailer behind him.

    David creek mountain gets about 3-4 a year easily.

    Then you have these guys, wow! Turns out there was I think 3 of these beams going to Lincoln county for a new bridge construction. Company to my understanding got 1 permit for all the trucks, the other trucks were parked up at the east bound pickle park just west of exit 11 where they were getting on route 10….

    First Alert Traffic | Part of Route 10 closed due to steel beam in roadway
