    You've probably done the same thing and just didn't get caught.

    I saw one of those hot rod dump truck drivers speeding west bound on I-40 in Tennessee with the bed up. Everyone was yelling at him on the CB and he just kept the hammer down. He hit an overpass and don't know what happened after that; I kept going.

    Well, 1st of all, that trailer is grossly overloaded with that machine, and it looks like a pintle hitch, which probably broke, and the guy boogied. I doubt they were going too far to begin with,,,but what an idiot. I'm sure this goes on all the time.:biggrin_25513:
