Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

I gather from this that your company / truck info is also on the video, so you have concerns about professional repercussions for reporting it? Or, what's keeping you from reporting it regardless of the video source?

If it came down to an inquiry I would have to identify where the video came from.

This has been posted before, so I've had time to think about it. Everybody assumes that he's launching the boat yet that's incorrect. Rather, he is washing his engine compartment and interior.


Follow me for more helpful hints.

Potentially, it is due to the fact that it isn't his video (ownership/authority) and his company may have policies controlling information/data owned by the company from being shared to 3rd parties, regardless of the reason/intent or what that data is. He's doing things properly. Folks shouldn't let emotions guide their judgement and jstpssng is doing well in that regard.

Not towing wrong, but today my dashcam recorded a school bus blowing through a red light so stale that it was green from my direction before he even entered the intersection. I'm not going to post it as I am still debating if I should report the driver.

You should and give them the video. They haul children so they need to be safe.

Understandable.

IMO, report it - to the cops and to the school - and tell them that video exists and they can talk to the company if they need to see the video.
If the company has a problem with that, you're working for the wrong people.

Knew a semi driver who also rode dirtbikes tied a 230 pound dirtbike in the middle of a flatbed one day, just like that. He did it just to be silly.

20 years ago i worked a few months at a local branch of road paving contractor. One lowbed driver consequently put a classic 60s era bicycle on the middle of his trailer, tied down with four heavy straps, just to catch stares and smiles

My friend drove behind a milk collection truck and saw him ride an oncoming car off a narrow road on a dike with big oaks on both sides. The car had to duck between two big trees to avoid collision and could barely stop before hitting a tree, and continued to lean over in the corner after the bridge into town. He called the trucking company, mentioned the time, location and license plate, reported the unsafe events, and said "i think you should know. Now its up to you to decide how to follow up" The owner explained, the last collector to arrive at the cheese factory has to wait till the others were emptied and flushed before its his turn, so they try to be there first.

The owner asked if he could write down his name which my mate agreed to, then he thanked him for his detailed and specific description because this was something he could work with, and he would ask the driver to come at the office after his shift.

One "levels" one's truck when it is a poser-truck and not a truck.

Have only once seen a lifted truck actually used where the lift could have helped but the problem was the rear differential was no higher than stock. Only the body of the truck was higher.

A Unimog has portal axles for that reason. Although the diff is still the lowest point, they are lifted high enough to not get the chassis highcentered on a bump. Ground clearance under the axle is important, but especially on a long wheelbase truck, isnt what gets you stuck on a trail.
