Why would someone do this?

buckets with teeth do and that rail edge rolled like it is(spaced like it is)
is pretty solid proof what bit that trailer.

Ive been around a day or two . . . .

 

I dont need to be right,your the one that brought an opinionated pic to a public forum.
The only thing wrong in the pic is your "opinion of it"

Get over yourself,you sound like a young cow hauler . . . .

 

Call me crazy, but actually having spent some time in the oil patch here, I can tell you one thing about many drivers I met out there.

Lots of them are gung ho idiots, and lots of them are so full of what comes out of the back end of the afformentioned cow.

 

Probably, what I wonder about is why is there a 4" strap on the deck there, is it to hold it all togeather?

 

It looks to me like the welds holding the side of the trailer in place broke and the strap is holding it togeather.

 

wheels or tracks should have been removed for this load
