Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

I would've jumped!!! Not sure exactly how those rollbacks work but I'm assuming it was overloaded and failed on one side. But I'm just guessing here.

As he drives the truck forward, it looks like a detached hydraulic cylinder dangling off the left side of the truck.

We have a road in Boston, Storrow Drive, that has multiple underpasses, none of which are more than 10 feet. The road is very well marked for no trucks with specific heights and even those hangy down things with chains that hit the vehicle if you are too tall....nevertheless, every year we get several trucks and even buses clogging up traffic after peeling their tops. Biggest season is August when the college students arrive from out of town. They just follow Google maps or their Garmin off the Mass Pike which usually takes your Uhaul truck on Storrow Drive to get to universities in either Boston and Cambridge. The crashes are so common the TV news programs don't even cover them anymore.

This one took me by surprise.. Guess it wasnt as level as needed. but maybe if the operator hadnt jumped it would not have rolled back as far?

Man.. that poor old grader didn't deserve those morons handling the controlls....

It does. I would guess that left cylinder's rod end mount failed and let that side drop down.

One *big* mistake they made was not putting down the rear "landing gear" before rolling the bed back. That is critical. But I suspect that the grader was too heavy for that truck. I used to deliver small buildings on a roll-back truck like that, and the bed was pretty stout, but there's no way I would ever have put large construction equipment on it, especially one that wide.

Got this one tonight about 30 miles from home. Pulled into a Casey's for gas and a coffee. The front of the truck looked like it rear-ended something and the car, too. The truck had one lug and lugnut missing on the rear driver's side wheel. The truck pulling the car didn't have license plates on it, but the car did.

These hitches just don't look right. I also own an Impala of the same generation and I doubt there is enough metal on the front to weld brackets that this hitch would attach to.

I occasionally see them going down the road with what I'm guessing is Mexicans hauling them back to Mexico. There was also an old used bread delivery truck in their caravan. Anyone else see this? Do you know what is happening with these cars and trucks?

He has a really long ball mount too.

I see Mexicans on I-81 towing cars. I assume they are taking them back to Mexico.
