Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

The pictures speak a thousand words. My experience with broken axels, shackles, springs, frozen bearings and blown tires tells me one thing. That trailer did not have enough toung whieght! This is not speculation just look close at the pictures and pay close attention to detail and it becomes appearent. The description posted in one of the posts about the trailer swinging solidifies it.

the trailer looks like a cheap lightweight one as well

Sorry about the pay wall - I saw the pic somewhere else and backtracked it to the np site.

Wow, no one can be that dumb. Just click on the pic and no more explanation needed.

Apparently their granite slabs were undamaged. Can't say the same for the pickup....



From some other pictures it looks to me like they simply drove off of the road.
As you can see from streetview, this highway tends to have a lot of accidents....

From that photo it looks like the road washed out and following the white line led him into the ditch.

Wouldn’t be much better hooked to the trailer still just being strapped over the sheet metal.

Couldn’t guess how many generators I’ve seen arrive strapped over a sheet metal enclosure. Drivers tighten it just to the point of deflection then hope no one notices the damage. Meanwhile you’ve got 20,000 lbs running down the road at 60mph unsecured.

That would be an expensive oops!

Only if it falls off...

At least the load will stay together when it slides off the trailer.
