    Is the company that owns the truck trying to put it on the driver to?

    If TTR won't allow you to link it what makes you think we'd allow anyone else to link it?
    That's really a bad move on your part. The reason we don't allow you to link your YouTube videos here is because you tend to thread bomb with them and post things that nobody has any interest in.


    Don't do it please.

    That tow operator is lucky that the trailer hit the curb and stopped everything from rolling away. When it comes off those blocks, you can tell it was gonna roll fast. You would have been running to try and stop it.

    They are definitely calling and asking more in depth details of the 'accident' and did tell me to never sign anything.

    My trailer was behind the tractor, worst case, it would have backed under and re-coupled.

    Oh, Ok. I thought the trailer was hooked up to the truck. It looked like the trailer was rolling too.

    Rolling back and coupling to the trailer again would’ve made a cool video.
