    Oh, Gawd. So was it in slow mo? I've heard when you tip over like that its like slow motion and seems like a lifetime before the truck settles.

    I've seen many grain trucks do this in the ditches while running along side the combine, not realizing that the load is "tilted" and slowly pulling them over. :biggrin_2559::biggrin_25525:

    That big hole reminds me of one of the loads I went with hubby while he was hauling pipe. He had 64"s on his truck, and we missed the edge of the crater by about a foot. He had to turn around it too. I was hanging on for dear life. Its not a pretty feeling, when you know that those edges can cave at any minute. :biggrin_25524:

    That's the same sleper I had on my T800 and I could stand up no problem. I'm 6'1" and add another 2 inches when I have my boots on. I had a good 6 inches of room over my head. Remember you step down into a KW sleeper. not like a pete where the sleeper and cab floors are the same height
