CRST strikes again! The chassis is twisted like a pretzel-that truck is done!
Spare parts anyone??Coffey Thanks this. -
I looked at this a few times. It's a weird one: he comes out of a left curve onto a straightaway, THEN the truck starts rolling to the right.
Did anyone else notice what sounded like tires catching the rumble strip on the zipper just as the roll started? That was how I first interpreted the noise, until I realized that sounded more like a blown steer tire and the noise continued until they came to a stop.
I think there's more to this story that the cam driver doesn't know.Bean Jr., Bud A., Coffey and 1 other person Thank this. -
Coffey Thanks this.

He is drifting off the pavement to the right. He realizes it and over corrects to get back centered in his lane, and over he goes.
Classic not paying attention to the job at hand. Doubt it had anything to do with load shifting, one of the most common excuses for this type of accident.Bean Jr., Lepton1, 201 and 1 other person Thank this. -
to fast for conditions. Only way to get that rig to flip.
Bean Jr., Studebaker Hawk and Dave_in_AZ Thank this. -
You used to see CRuST rolled over all the time. They must've gotten an "old skool" trainer for the company.
Coffey Thanks this.
