Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

[California]

This might not be hauling wrong, but I haven't seen a trailer raised while hauling before.

Interesting. It looks like it was specially made for delivering trusses. Apparently that lift is designed to let long loads extend forward up over the raised fifth-wheel front of the trailer.

Both drivers will likely get cited. Taillights obscured on the truck, 'too fast for conditions' for the van.

I didn't see this myself, but it was on a local news site and happened yesterday eve:



Can't imagine that not being a "wrong hauling".

It looks like an expensive "ooppps"

Hope no one was riding in the backhoe!

Looks like they needed a pair of 12" pieces of 1/2" pipe to put in the back corners of the trailer and hold the sign above the deck.

No pics, but saw a pickup towing a tracked skid steer on a trailer with no chains/tiedowns last week.

I think you're right. I see a couple cross bar rollers, one on a frame at the front edge of the deck, and another up on the neck. There must be some sort of mechanical lock or black on the lifted deck. I don't know how far the truck hauled the trusses, but they were delivered about 1 mile down the road after the accident. Unloaded directly in the mud at a Schumacher Homes building site.

Oregon driver arrested for towing kids in little red wagon

Mom arrested for using car to tow kids | Local | Eugene, Oregon

"According to Lt. Scott McKee, Donahue told police she didn't understand what the problem was because she was only driving 5 mph and she just wanted to show the kids a good time.

Donahue was not intoxicated, according to McKee."

Wow, what a dumbass. I am pretty sure we did worse things when I was a kid in the 70s, but it would have been on private property and not a public road with other vehicles, and certainly not a busy traffic circle.

She obviously wouldn't be able to see the kids or the wagon back there. And what idiot thinks a strap is the right way to do this? All around I think this mom was a dumbass with no sense.

While we did stuff like this, as you say, it was usually on a quite street/back road/trail.. It was also in a Steel and Wood Red Flyer wagon, not those little crappy plastic ones with plastic wheels.
