The Truckers’ Report flatbed Hall of Shame.

I try for LTL with a rigging crew appointment. The broker knows the cost on the rigger will get chewed out of his butt if theyre sitting there waiting for a bottom bid no show truck at $300/hr or whatever.

 

Not the best week for some people over here in UK!
Track dumper on its side with drawbar trailer on motorway,road was closed that night and resurfaced due to diesel spill,so that's a big insurance hit
Hitachi 360 on back of stepframe,was second machine so must've had boom/dipper stretched over one on front of trailer,hit bridge n ended up about 50 yards down the road....on the road!

 

that excavator is NOT going to buff out.

 

Not with that attitude it won't.

 

SOP isn't a lie. It also isn't federal law either. I've secured a number of tracked vehicles from M113 and M577 to M109 howitzers. Surprising that a ratchet chain binder will make a howitzer slide sideways on a steel decked railcar. Don't that with a tank once too. Just to prove to Sergeant Vaden that he was wrong in how he was telling us to load. He wanted one guy in back, one guy in front. Tried explaining that you needed the chains tightened on both corners one the same end so the vehicle didn't move. Then I proved it would when he told me "yo skinny little ole white ##* ain't fixin' to move no gun on no railcar". "Watch this Sergeant!” lol

 

I can't see there being much salvage other than scrap value.
Even the counter weight is chipped.

 

Swift heavy haul UK trials?

 

Probably not even much scrap value in the bridge either. lol

 

Swift p45 aka the sack!
