Only problem I see is the underinflated tires. :laughing: Seriously, how did this ever get far enough along to chain it down?

I was wondering if it was a "billboard" for a business.

That is what I thought. It is blocked up.

I suspect this is a haul road, not a public highway.

I thought it looked like a good attention getter.

Put a 33# per foot 48' beam in my house..Called a local dude to get me one from a steel mill..He strapped it to the bed of what I think was a 10 ton dump...You should have seen that coming back the right of way...When he dumped it, he tilted the bed and nailed the truck..The beam slid against the bulkhead and had the truck on 2 wheels...I couldn't believe what I was seeing..He got out from under it and the truck came down normally...He didn't understand why I was in a state of shock...Good thing DOT or even the regular cops didn't see that one. Wish I would have had a camera for that.

I once seen a scary sight about 30 years ago, while visiting my in-laws A man delivered a tandem load of gravel to their next door neighbor, I'm not sure what happen but the trucks gate didn't come unlatched, when the Dump started lifting so did the front wheels of the truck, about 15 ft, off the ground actually, the driver tried all he could think of until he give up and climbed out of the cab, everyone was cautious not to get too close to the truck, the driver wound up getting a track-hoe out there, slowly removing the gravel from the truck until the front came down, much of the gravel had already spilled over the top of the gate, so the loader only had to remove about 4 buckets full when the truck started to come back down, I think when it was all said and done it was determined some mechanical failure with the gate latch mechanism,

I wonder why the driver didn't stop/reverse the lift when the front wheels first left the ground.

We were watching from next door and it looked like after he lift the dump about 4 ft high while setting still, He then give it the gas all at once the mound of gravel on top shift closer to the rear, actually some spilling over the gate, the cab went up and he stopped, It happen very quickly, I think the driver might had press the clutch back in but by that time he was hang time in the air due to the weight shifting toward the rear, he might had been overloaded, Both truck and him

What's funny about this? Isn't that a kind of spare tire?
