70mackMB Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 They sped that up from the one l saw. What a disgrace even for a steering wheel holder! Watch the exhaust stack on the truck hooked to the left trailer when he hits that one! Must have a limited endorsement licence, FORWARD ONLY! .............Hippy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely a 2 pedal automated "thingo" judging by the way the Steering wheel attendant was hitting the Dock, & said SWA was unaware of the creep or inching function..(also unaware of heaps of other things Too) Quote "Be who you are and say what you feel...Because those that matter...don't mind...And those that mind....don't matter." - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

storkmack Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I saw a “slower” version of this and the sad thing is the fact that he started out pretty straight and square with the dock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog13407 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 its all over.brought three trucks in this week, lost wheels, brake drums, everything. seems no one does pre trips or checks their lugnuts anymore. just went and towed this foreigner in yesterday after dot got him. old junk Volvo and really old great dane with side doors. DOT gave him 26 tcickets! we towed back to our shop.guy whipped out cash and paid bill and drove away. everything from log book violations to signal lights out, brakes out of adjustment and the kicker, the clamps for the sliding suspension,.one pair was gone! the industy has gone to shit but,on a good note, stupid and lazy makes me money..... cant tell you how many times weve had a truck come into the shop and the driver either cant speak any English, cant unhook his trailer or cant back up, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxfymn Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Some things never change. My Dad loved to tell me about having to back the tractor trailers into a shop he worked at in the Boston area because the OTR guys couldn't do it. The year? 1949.

david wild Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 You let towed trucks leave after paying tow ??? Truck gets towed here it does not leave until repairs made and reinspected. same with no insurance, no coverage you don't get car back until proof of Ins. is in hand. dig this one, car runs stop sign, hits truck, tow both, car has liab. only, truck full cov. car given ticket for stop sign, car insurer will only pay 80% of damage and tow of truck, claims driver of truck was negligent for not assuming car would run stop sign ?????? no stop sign in trucks lane but there is overhead blinking caution light, I guess that means you need to watch for cars running stop sign, feel bad for truck owner not so much for dodge with 22" stupid looking wheels, once again laws only apply to some people.

Probably not, but I bet there were drivers who were just as bad back then. We just don't have the video to prove it. 19 hours ago, david wild said: You let towed trucks leave after paying tow ???

That is why there are lawyers and courts. If the truck's insurer lets the car's insurer get away with it then they are ahead. My bet is they sued to recover full damages and the car's insurer paid them and the court costs as well. Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

david wild Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Don't feel that tow companies need to sue for payment when person caused accident by breaking law and causing accident, tow bill should be paid, let ins. fight it out in court.

Popular Post h67st Posted December 12, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2017 Just noticed this on my single axle today...you know a driver was a steering wheel holder when they had to mark "F" for "Forward" on the wheel. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmyb Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Secretly the guy is a genius. By hitting the dock hard and fast, the truck will unload itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyT Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Wow guys, don't know where to start! Reminds me of all the idiocy I've seen over the years! Guy pulls out without releasing docklok tears off ICC bumper!Who the F... road tested this stroke? Saw a guy backing in at the old Genco whse in west Mifflin Pa, there is a car next to the dock he cuts the wheel hard right and drives right over the cars hood! I couldn't believe my eyes! Maddog, I saw a complete set of trailer tandems in the right lane of I 85 once, 100 ft of tire tracks behind it and a dry van flat on the pavement in front and the tractors gone etc! The musta' towed it away! Cops and fusees everywhere! Saw a tandem dump body upside down facing backwards under a bridge on I 376 in pittsburgh! No truck! When I was in the towing business during the "tow truck wars" in 1971 in Pittsburgh, We got a call in an out of the way location and Thought it might be a setup, Competing towing companies were shooting out tires etc,long story! Anyway We took my truck and my buddies truck and came to a car over the hill in a rural park! My buddy parked out of sight a half mile away. I winched the car out and broke the first rule of towing! I unhooked before I got paid! The customer takes off! I get on the radio " Bobby block the road!" So he parked a c 50 Chevy with a Holmes 600 across the two lane road!lol I got paid! I was in the old Flying J south of Chicago and was walking to the restaurant and this guy in a Cabover was pulling as opposed to backing in to a parking space,there was a Cabover parked facing out with the driver at the wheel! The guy pulling in forgot about his reefer unit, and The driver that was parked saw It coming and started to "backpedal" into the sleeper! The reefer took out the drivers windshield and part of his door! He escaped out the passenger door! The trailer wouldn't have cleared the truck on his right either but he never got that far! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
