How far down the highway are you going with that load? My guess is about 0 miles, based on your previous posts.

Which previous post? It went on the road about 3 miles. The actual highway zero miles. I don’t like to haul cut up wood. I’d much rather throw or on my bigger truck in logs. That load on the ton truck was my dad’s work. IMG_8776.JPG

I didn’t get a picture but a guy hauling a new chest freezer on a single axle trailer. He opted for nature’s tie down, gravity.

I think this gets filed under 'Oooppps'.

Seems intentional. Otherwise why wouldn't the driver lower the boom before trying to exit the cab?

Raising a load with an articulated machine turned, is always a gamble.

At least with an articulated machine there's a good chance for a funny photo. As opposed to a tractor with a pivoting front axle where that almost guaranteed ending with a rollover.

I have been in a lot of log yards. Never seen one get at all tippy.

To be honest, that load doesn't look near that big anyway. Seem much bigger on loaders in the port of Olympia, just don't bounce it getting it off the truck. Log truck drivers take a pretty dim view of that.
