    Probably pissed at other company drivers . Either way someone is cursing if it’s loaded thankfully it’s summer in winter it’s a bear to crank up lol

    First time I’ve seen trailer tandems lifted into a loading dock like that. Driver definitely made sure the trailer was in the dock-literally!

    Doesn't really look like the driver could have pulled out with the bar down. If it fell over that quickly there was something wrong from the start.

    What happened? Did the driver forget to crank his landing gear down or was it just so heavy in the nose it buckled the landing gears?
     
    Flat Earth Trucker Thanks this.
