    The strength of the 5th wheel/king pin combination always amazes me.

    They have had a lot of wind gusts in some of the aras of IN and MI, combine that with icy roads and I would imagine that would help lead to a flip.

    Thats wha you get out of a single Axle and a light trailer. I know its light cuz I've hauled loads for MTS last winter from Denver to SLC and it was boxes and furniture ltl stuff. Glad i didn't have a single axle lol

    Definitely an homage to the Winter Olympics. I can't imagine attempting a triple axle like that... and to be able to stick the landing, too!
