You never know, becarefull out there.

Today was the most interesting day in trucking for me ever. Had a load of steel high line poles on and some bases for those poles. We had unloaded four poles with no issues. Get to the fifth pad site and unload pole, this site needs one of the bases to. Pick the base up and operator starts to boom over and all hell breaks loose. Base was to heavy and entire truck falls over onto my trailer. Thank God that no one was hurt.

 

The outer floor and rail are bent down a little, four of the five braces on that side are bent. The ones from the frame rail up to the outer floor. Rub rail on top deck is busted. Going 150 miles out of the way from my next load to have trailer checked out further. I will try to get some pics up from my phone, if I can figure that out.

 

Can't seem to get them to load up. Just picture a power company boom truck laid over on to a step deck with its boom across the load and in the ditch on the other side of the trailer.

 

He was close enough, we were unloading right on the highway. They were just in a big hurry and did not put the outriggers out on the driver side of the boom truck. A mistake he won't do again I'm sure.

 

No it wasn't.
