Prime mishap…just a bit wide..

Looked like he hit it trying to back in. Scary.

 

This is a PRIME example as to why you examine the area before you make a U-turn.

 

I subscribe to Ron Pratts channel...and when he was told it slid into the ditch... when I saw the truck, the 1st I thought was "funny, I didn't see any rubber on the pavement or dirt on the shoulder disturbed..."

And I think he was trying to line up to back in to the customer at the corner because Ron (the 'tater operator) was gonna help him after he moved his truck.

 

Thats what you get when you ask a flatbedder to back up....

 

Ron to the rescue!

 

I don't know about that, some of the places I had to back in to when I was pulling open deck would make a door slammer cry or wet their jammie pants. I think it has to do with the name on the door more than the trailer type.

 

I see tire marks just in front of the left trailer tires. I think he was trying to back in.

 

How much was that recovery?
I love the way those wreckers sound when the PTO spools up the turbo. So classy.
