The Truckers’ Report flatbed Hall of Shame.

I’m normally not claustrophobic, but that’s a tight spot to be in. Looks like he pulled the passenger mirror off.

 

No big loss. Most of those guys don’t use them anyway.

 

We unloaded cast iron pipe on a co. rd in AL. in ft. of a 10ft 4in. RR bridge, I waited in line and we were talking about how we were going to get out without backing up 5mi. I got tape out after 1st truck just got billing signed and hop in and tore off his big round white ant. and it was hanging down by wire in his air lines, I took the short ex stack off my mid/roof after the condo in ft. of me was backing up the hiway, we stayed on C/B talking to driver that was backing up and he found a cross rd. to flip around at, i just let air out of bags and watched driver in ft. of bridge guiding me thru. low bridge, i put stack back on at store while i was waiting for a load of crushed cars going back to pipe yard?

 

Not a flat but you get it

 

Point being?!?!?! If'n ya don't got a 'rotator' PeterCar.. dont go? My take. Just saying.
When I win the lottery or something .. I'm just gonna HAVE one!

 

The point being is you always pull on what’s stuck. That tractor wasn’t stuck, his B-train was.

 

Yessir. Love y'all open deck guys... really do. Thanks, KF.

 

Youll notice log trailers all have a big ol push bar on back for a blade even though every machine on the landing has a 20t winch.

Much better to push a trailer than pull a tractor.

 

Point being, don't pull on the freaking steer axle. Hook to the frame with tow hooks. This farmer must not have much experience, and the driver wasn't double checking.

 

Depends on how you do it. Most tow hooks will break easy. Especially if you shock them. You chain to frame and wrap it under steer axle to winch generally with some brains. Can get some much needed up lift and stay under those big stupid bumper. Most tow hooks dont take a side pull either.
