    well, she could not make up her mind, so she did the next best thing,

    she made her own ramp...kudos to her, and they ought to hire her as a DOT road designer and engineer...!!

    How much compression (which causes diesel to ignite) do you think was created by that tank falling 30 feet or so?

    Good point.

    Remember that video of that truck going airborne over the road? His fuel tanks made quite a fireball on impact.

    Lol,also dropped a 150 gallon fuel tank causing a fireball and possible environmental hazard,can I get on with Carolina Cargo??

    Don’t get me wrong,Volvo tractors are heavy,especially the 780 models but not heavy to a point where you can’t make up your mind on which ramp to take!!!
