He's going for "they loaded it, how was I supposed to know how much they'd screw it up?"

He had some serious steam built up when he went through that intersection. I would say in combination of no trailer brakes he overheated his truck brakes causing failure.

Spooner is a serious grade from Tahoe elevation to Nevada desert floor.
Carson City is state capital with commercial vehicle inspection station/office as I remember trailering endurance horses.
Also some discussion of Drivers Legal status but unable to verify.
Nevada seems to be much more on the law and order when it comes to prosecution.
A tragedy with fatal consequences…

They got him on a bunch of charges!! I never saw the truck but they classified it as a commercial vehicle and he didn't have a CDL or do the safety inspections. As I am studying for my CDL, this will serve as a reminder to me of how serious these pre trip inspections are

That's a pretty big boat and the trailer certainly needed brakes. If they weren't functional that is a recipe for disaster.
I wonder what the article meant by 'overweight boat'? I doubt the boat/trailer was above the towing capacity for that F350, but maybe they meant overweight for not having trailer brakes?
