Dump truck takes down overhead sign. They Tried To Warn The Driver.

I don't know, never drove one of this.
This is why is good to keep cb radio on, other drivers around can warn; few months ago i took a nap less than 2 hours, on a ramp on I-40 w, exit 265 just west of Memphis ,AR , was still dark when i left 4am , and after merging on hwy, i was warned on CB that my trailer doors are open. I pulled over, my trailer seal, padlock was cut, one skid of my freight missing, got unloaded while sleeping but they didn't close the doors lol. I called police, they came to investigate, need police report for insurance claims; They told me it happen every night around Memphis,in truck stops also.
;;;;
btw,This guys recording above, are not smart following that close as the truck approaches low clearance .

 

Are you on paper or elogs?

 

e-log, team, but when i feel tired i pull over.

 

Opps, sorry for this post, i didn't see it.

 

The flip side of this is the driver may have realized and thought it would go down on its own. Not realizing it was a sail and short of pulling over, the air pressure was holding it up.

 

I hardly doubt a 60mph wind could hold up a 30+ foot long end dump bed.

 

Was it a proper zipper merge?

 

Nevermind
