    At least we know he will be under 80k going down the road. He should have swung out a little bit more. It looks like there was plenty of space. Today I learned that stationary objects contribute to equipment damage.

    I especially LOVE When the Tandem Carriage "sealed the doors".

    Saw a guy do this sliding his tandems, years ago in the Bloomsbury 76. Couldn't get them to budge, so he started grabbing a handful of trailer brake at increasing speed. He was probably only going 7 or 8 mph when the trailer hopped and the tandem started to slide.

    It didn't look like the ICC bumper even slowed it the slightest, and as the trailer slipped from the front of the tandem frame, it flipped the tandem like a tiddlywink.

    All this was in full view of the restaurant out the side windows. The flip was a thing of beauty!

    I’m impressed by the stump pulling power and traction it had. Makes any farm boy jealous. Props to the engine tuner.

    The crying shame is, although he will get fired from this job, there is NOTHING that will stop him from getting another.
    With hundreds of new carrier DOT numbers being approved everyday, there is someone out there who will hire this schmuck.

    BTW, he could very well be one of those new carriers, he could have destroyed his own trailer.
    Do you think he is going to fire himself?

    Maybe he was hoping for less rolling resistance to increase mpg lol

    He really should be charged for willful destruction of property.
