    Although this is a 48 minute video, all the goodies are in the first three minutes.

    A worthwhile watch.

    The tow truck driver has much more patience than I do I'll say that. I'd probably have read the guy the riot act for being incompetent.

    And this is what we share the road with. Scary, ain't it?

    I thimk that "mechanic" was about the same level of competence as the driver. Jeesh

    Yell at a driver for doing dumb ####? And one that can't understand?

    That does nobody any good.

    He's making money from YouTube also from these idiots.

    I'd say he and the cops were the only professionals there.

    I was waiting for the part where the owner tried to deny the tow bill.
    They have a video where CHP had to get on the phone before the owner would pay.

    Exactly. Vermont just raised the fine to $20,000 for going through Smugglers Notch in a semi, and trucks still bypass the signs and all that to go through it. The drivers aren’t paying it. The companies are.

    As a non trucker , seems like when the yellow center marker disappears i might not should be there in a semi truck with a 53ft trailer .

    Remember kids, punching an address into your GPS does not constitute proper trip planning.
