The Truckers’ Report flatbed Hall of Shame.

I’m hoping he’s scrapping the truck too.

 

Pretty much all of those scrappers have beat up older trucks. You don't buy a brand new $60K+ pickup truck to load up with scrap...or it'll look like a junker before it's even half paid for.

 

That AirDog lift pump he has on the frame rail is worth more than the truck.

 

That was my first thought. Tho i would push the roof down so i could haul 2 and save a trip.

 

Nothing wrong with that. Most say my headache rack is w9ith more than my truck. Still gets the job done. Besides which from the pictures all we know is the cab and doors are rusted out. Tires brakes and driveline could be in tip top shape. Not really any different than my freightliner with peeling paint. I've operated brand new equipment and I've operated stuff that should of been scrapped. Never once had a customer offer to pay me more for the nicer looking trucks.

 

Nothing to see here....

 

Bruh...I'd have stayed right there in that TS and either asked some van guys to back up against that to straighten it back up or had somebody come in to fix that. (Unless his dispatcher called a wrecker and had him driver to wherever it was).

That plastic pipe ain't no joke...once it gets to leaning or sliding, that's pretty much a wrap. (I've pulled more of that stuff than I care to remember.)

 

The lean itself isn't bad as long as he drives with a brain cell and takes his right turns and ramps slow. We don't know when the lean happened. If it happened in transit from the product sliding that's bad and needs reworked. But it also could of happened 1k miles ago when he was tying it down and hasn't moved a millimeter since. Shifting loads are bad. Loading crooked is not that big a deal as long as the center of gravity is still good and you drive with it in mind. Fact is we don't know which this is from a 15 second video to make a judgement on the driver.

 

Could have just been he has his straps pulling to all one side, that was my first thought

 

The strap wasn’t even touching the poles.....
