I watched this one happen. The hill in the background is a couple miles long at 7% and 9%. The driver got his brakes hot and shot across the bridge and through intersection and went over a block into town. The brakes couldn't hold it and it came back down the block backwards and over the retaining wall. There's a Ford Pinto under the trailer.

It might be Vision385, but it's hard to tell with those welding goggles.

That's one of shipping wars top dog drivers, one of the only times I watched he threw away part of the load cause he didn't want to try to secure it, then told the shipper if he didn't pay the full price he wouldn't get what was left of his stuff.

Driver pulled in & thought that he could swing around & back into one of the two indoor loading docks... The business was a reclamation company and had used industrial cooling oil. Since I had only one winch & cable on this wrecker I poured some of the oil (with the company's permission) onto the tires of the truck and ground & with one cable & 3 (groups of) chains, one to the tow hook in the tractor, one to the frame of tractor between tandems & one to the trailer suspension, all at length to pull evenly, I very slowly, adding oil as needed, winched the truck in a "V" out of his situation. The owners of the company were friends of mine and before I was done with the pull Bob called me & told me not to finish up until he got there as he had not told this driver that he was bringing another driver to finish things up there & take the truck back to the terminal and that the driver who did this was being terminated.
