    Hmmmm, what happened here?
    This is a photo reminder that it's not a good idea to unhook a heavy load and leave the trailer unattended in a parking with pavement. If you do have to swap tractors in such a place, be sure to do it quickly to try and avoid this from happening.

    Any tanker driver worth his salt knows you only drop a loaded tank on concrete.
