Popular Post PeterMack Posted October 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2014 The other day I had two friends send me these pictures within 10 minutes of each other. This freight truck driverdecided he was going to drive past the road closed sign and flip a u-turn. The tracks are closed on the other side of the truck. This should not have been a surprise to this driver. This happened in Elgin and the tow truck is from Rockfordwhich is about an hour away. I'm guessing this cost anywhere from $300 to $500. My one friend said that truck hadbeen stuck there for at least 3 hours. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post j hancock Posted October 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2014 Sad to say in this country, you sometimes don't want to help if something goes wrong while helping. If it really goes FUBAR, the lawyers and insurance companies will be looking for money. 3 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

hatcity Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 mrsmackpaul-the idea of helping others has changed dramatically here. One-the drivers nowadays don't know what makes the truck go, so how can they help you. Also, without a computer, you can't figure out why the truck just shut down. The second item is a language barrier in many places. I'm in Florida and if you don't know Spanish/Cuban, you won't get much.I try to help if I can. Just yesterday, one of them Cuban truckers had a coolant line busted. I happen to have the size he needed. Offered tools, clamps and coolant too.

And to add to what they said most of these bigfleets don't want the drivers to touch anything, don't try fixing, pushing or pulling, just sit there and for good reason. LikeHatcity said most of these guys have no clue how these trucks work, they can barely drive them. So you give a chain totwo dummies and the next thing that happens is one ties it around the back axle of the trailer and gives it hell and then"poof" instead of a tow bill now you have a major repair and a tow bill. It really is sad to say but sometimes your better offwalking away from most of this stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put all my pocket change in it all year and take it to the bank when it's about full, usually has close to $300 in it...I hope that'll be enough! 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

other dog Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Looks like this log hauler with a nice load of white oak logs was probably having a bad day. Those surprise weight watchers meetings usually mean a bad day, and it looked like he was loaded pretty good there. 2 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

PeterMack Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 These pictures were sent to me about a year ago by fellow BMT'er Macknutt. This truck pulled into his place of work to deliverbut he was at the wrong place, so he decided to flip around and head out. Looks like he miscalculated and decided to take theconcrete blocks with him. I'll give him credit for dragging three of em that far. Did some custom damage to the suspension also.He had to be towed out of there after this. Definitely a Super Trucker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
