Interstate Overpass Crash Could Cause Months Of Detours

Every one knows that when you hook up you pull on the pin... and if you have been sitting for a while you do it again.... because there are people who enjoy messing with the handle on the fifth wheel.

 

I guess I'll go ahead and say before anyone else does.............

Was it a swift trainee.............


I just needed a good laugh today...............

 

most swift trucks have flat 5th wheels, not unhooked ones.. they need to get their lazy buts out once in a while and check the air preasure in them

 

argh! I wanted to reach through the video and strangle those reporters.. That's not a "train" , it's a locomotive.

All one can do is hope there was no driver error. They did mention the possibility of mechanical failure - maybe the kingpin went away.

 

ok...........play aside.

This is a sad situation, like somone said,
I also do hope it is not driver error...........

Their are alot of mad people in that area...................

What is the kingpin rated # anyway?

Heavy haulers do they have heavier kingpins on their trailers?

And of all places for it to come apart........right next to a bridge pillar

HEY, is this a conspiracy theory time.....HAHAHAHA

 

Please forgive me for using the word (stupit) but why arn't driver's double checking fifth wheels before they start to drive, how much more would it take from your lunch.

 

we don't know yet..............hahaha
