Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

... He said it was the stupidest thing he ever did.

...so far. I wouldn't want to think he'd peaked early; future escapades could yield him a shot at a Darwin award, or, at least, a nice, long stint behind bars.

It was for sale, sold it yesterday and doing all the paperwork today. We did the camping thing before he was here and a little once he was born. We lived in it while we built our house so we could be on location during construction. After that we had zero interest in camping though.

I bought an 05 ford Dually that I知 in the middle of installing a flatbed on so we will still be able to haul and pull, it just doesn稚 have all the bells and whistles that the 17 does but was loaded for 05

Man, sad to hear you sold it, but I fully understand wanting to spend more time with the youngun. I followed your truck/tractor thread over at FTE as well. Best of luck with the '05!

No photos but I read recently that a fellow stole some 40 foot aluminum irrigation pipes or such, put them diagonally through his vehicle and drove off, creased several parked cars before he was stopped. He said it was the stupidest thing he ever did.

Knowing human nature, I'd guess it wasn't the stupidest thing he ever did but the stupidest thing he ever did and got caught at. Big difference, but not to a Darwin candidate. There's probably plenty more to come from him. Stay tuned on this guy.

This is why you need to keep a good following distance.

Those are some serious logs

When I saw the pictures the logging trucks around Olympia WA came to mind.

I always give them a wide berth... several times a year there are instances of them upsetting in Western WA... loads shift or center of gravity problematic for turning plus overall length.

Not logs but will be used as utility poles.

That is a poor title. The logs were just sitting there. The following truck slammed into them; so fast and hard, it went through the cab and took out the headache rack on the back of the 2nd truck. Sheesh.

Yes... sensationalism in reporting...

I was thinking the load shifted or something similar... where it seems it was either not paying attention or simply following to close.

Was stop and go traffic and the truck with the poles stopped suddenly and the truck with the logs had no place to go.

Personally if they are hauling poles like that, with that much overhang, they need a rear pilot vehicle. Most log truck drivers here know to dive to the floor board in an instance like that or one where the logs are coming from the back through the cab not sure how much warning he had.

Like they'll never come out of the back of the truck if i stop fast or swerve.

Pretty cruel? Hope you don’t think the same of those with Kids in back of their pickups?

Don't fall out. That's like natural selection.
