    It's a pneumatic. Whatever is in the trailer is dry...fly ash, cement, kiln dried lime, etc...not likely to leak unless the trailer is ruptured in a major way.

    I am not up to much right now.

    The Hospital and Doctors have some work to do fixing broken stuff. I'll be back up to full speed later this year provided that the work is done well. It's been a long time coming. Part of the reason for the delay is the war on opiates causing issues with more common doctors like family doctors who would have found some of the issues even as early as late last year. But I have to go to a clinic as per State Law and those doctors do well, but do not consider themselves family doctors and so do not communicate with any other doctor very well at all. So it falls on me to find out what things can be taken care of and go forward on my own to get it done at the Hospital.

    Eventually I find the right doctors through referrals by the ER who did a good job in finally identifying relatively simple problems and broken bones that need replacement. But we lost almost a year and because of that, additional damage has been done to the body and now need even more expensive surgery and PT etc. What a waste.

    Any one of my 4 doctors this year could have spent a little additional time paying attention to the actual problems in the body that has been proven to exist by simple Xrays or MRI etc. And prevented some of the work that now must be done. Because none of the 4 doctors since March to last month did much of anything. Here have some medicine. Go home and don't bother me. In fact as far as the State would prefer, no one gets any medicine at all.

    If I did nothing then I have no future at all. I would prefer to go out swinging with boots on than to meekly do nothing because it's too expensive, or too difficult or too something else. That's flat BS. When things get difficult, truckers get going. We are late already.

    Speaking of phones, I quit using land line to the house in 2008 what with the robocalling BS day and night spamming so that got stopped. The Cell phones we still use. But strictly internet believe it or not when I am not at the home computer and texting only. Otherwise it's relay via the internet. Technology has replaced what I cannot do, hear. It hears for me now quite a bit. I can almost say being deaf is not a problem or a handicap anymore. And so.. we should begin to act like it.

    Rooky move, not paying attention to where his tri-axle was. Cut the corner too shallow

    While likely my brother-in-law has had his fuel truck slide off a newly graveled culvert and the rear of the truck slide in the ditch. He didn't roll over in that case, but still required a pull out. Which is always fun getting a fully loaded 8 axle truck towed... :)

    I can't see any tire marks on the video to support that in this case so you are likely correct, but that's not the only option.
     
    Lepton1 Thanks this.
