    From what I can see in the video the pile under the trailer is higher than the Hopper gate... I'd say the Hopper split open at a joint.

    The price you pay when you spend too much money to look cool, and not have enough money left to buy a descent trailer. See it everyday, just a ticking time bomb.

    Here is a pic from the article and it sure looks like that rear hopper separated at the joint to the sidewall.

    Yeah I knew something looked where when i watched the video... A still image makes it very obvious that the entire hopper began to seperated from the chassis.

    The original 1930's Oz movie was quite something. I think Liberal Ok still has the Dorothy house But not sure. Its been too long. (Old section, east of the truckstop)

    The hopper bottom failed structurally.

    I think a new hopper, a front end loader will take care of that in a hour or two. Wash off the rest.

    I wonder if there's going to be a lot of deer strikes along that section of highway over the next few weeks?
