I would not say that I saw a guy holding a mattress on the roof of a car while going down the road.

Yet when you find a nice, clear straight stretch with good visibility and no traffic so slow a little to let them get past; they still insist on riding your bumper rather than go by you.
Every year I buy a yard of seafood compost and haul it home in my pickup. I have it tightly tarped although it's too wet and heavy to blow out; but I never have problems with tailgaters. That stuff smells just like a load of pig manure so everyone keeps their distance.

There's a State Police Truck Safety cop that lives here. He's notorious for doing a very "thorough" job. He would have a field day with that guy!!

That one looks nasty. They say that the tractor fell off a trailer, but that looks more like a roll back ramp truck to me.

I agree. It looks like a rollback truck that the tractor went up, knocked over the headache rack and then kept going forward and rolled over as it went off the front right corner of the rollback.
My guess woud be that the driver missed the clutch when he went to stop the tractor.

Driving from west to east (heading home) on i-40 bridge from Arkansas to Tennessee, I saw a late model Cadillac 4 door with a mattress on top. Someone in each seat, with an arm out the window holding it down. I told myself "welcome to memphis! Your stupid enough to live here too"
Man cited for losing control of his trailer on I-5 | The Columbian
The trailer started to whip and oscillate, according to the state patrol, sending Kennard out of control.
The SUV in tow slipped from the trailer, troopers said, and rolled onto its right side to block two of the three lanes.

Same thing goes back in AZ. If a DOT guy saw that, the driver would be so far down a hole, they'd have to airmail him sunlight.
Up here, it's just another day in ND. See this stuff all the time. I'm not a fan of "Big Brother" looking over every part of our lives, but I do wish they'd tighten up DOT enforcement here.

Nope, most likely too little hitch weight on towing vehicle. Probably could have been prevented by moving towed vehicle forward on trailer.
