    Dude was getting ready to pull out of the fuel island but he had not pulled in perfectly straight. If you've ever stopped at that Pilot you may remember how awkward the lot is laid out. Looks like a truck stop was built there by accident. In any event it was clear his driver-side trailer wheels were going to hit the protective yellow post. I thought for sure he was going to back up and get straight so I backed way the hell up for him. I was wrong and he started pulling forward and all I could think to yell on the radio was STOP STOP STOP!!!

    I guess he didnt have his ears on because he destroyed the post and busted at least one tire

    Either that or my AT-6666 was not getting out lol

    I'll post a pic when I get a sec

    (Title is supposed to say 'South Carolina')

    I was in a service plaza in oort hope ontario canada..Went in for my tims coffee and headed back on the road..
    As i come around the bend of the service area and i see a so called professional driver who had manage to get his trailer wheels up a 3ft cement curb!!! ..I think WTF cause you can see he killed 4 rims and tires on his drivers side while the right side was barely sittin on the pavement with slide markes...Come around the trk a lil further only to see that the nose on the passenger side was sittin on his drives so he couldnt move....lol...
    I dont see how you can not see a 3ft cement curb hit it when loaded and not go through the windshield even at 10mph or tear off the trl legs.....Amazes me how some even put their pants on in the morning let along get a licence to drive an 18..

    As a side note to my story, after I fueled up and continued north on I-85 I saw the guy pulled over on the side on the phone. "I dont know, boss. I was driving along and blew a tire!"

    In his defense I would have done the same thing lol
