Well,... by the looks of the rig it could be one of those guys who has a spread axle because he thinks it looks cool... Having an axle all the way at the rear would allow it to roll sharply uphill like that if the truck was backed into that position. Closed tandems wouldn't likely be all the way to the rear, and the ICC bumper would've dug into the ground at the bottom of the gulley and stopped it before it went any further.
No such luck... that's an excuse. If it was a sinkhole that big, there would have been other trucks in it. Dumbazz left his brake off.That is a Kennesaw in an 387 PeteAnd I'm with @Duck on the sinkhole type theory.
I am going to guess when all that flooding hit Nevada.
Wow,that was really deep man. LolActually, what you don't see in the picture are the yellow Prime, red CRE and blue Swift who are the real responsible parties here. The Prime was fueling while the CRE was backing into a spot across the truck stop and the Swift was passing by on the freeway. When their positions formed an equilateral triangle, the gravity of the situation (these three companies in such close proximity and precise placement, along with their primary colors, the basis of all colors of the "color wheel") centered itself in the triangle they'd formed.
That Western was just the sorry SOB who was unfortunate enough to have parked in that specific spot and the sudden surge of gravity just sucked him right in.
Did they say how it happened?
I cant remeber the details cause that was a few years ago. BUT most if not all well sites had rocks that size on the pad were we drove on to so we can load.
I could write a book about hauling crude in ND LOL
btw let me now miss lead you.
btw let me now miss lead you.
NOT EVERY single well had those rocks.
The ones in the middle of the fields is were you would see those type of filler rocks on a pad. The ground was just soft and when it rained you wouldnt be able to get in and out with out some support under you.
You wouldn't see those rocks unless you were a belly dump driver bringing those in before the top layer was put in or if you were like me and they sent you out to wells to check the place out and take pics for training dept and saftey...They used those pics for office folks to understand what the field is actually like. Since they would sit inside all the time. I ran to a well when they were cutting the ground and watched what was going on and thats were I say those size rocks. That rock is an abnormality its so large. The majority would be basketball sizes.
Lots of pads at this crushed red clay type rocks. Not sure the exact type. But when those got crushed under weight and rain they would turn to soft Georgia type clay. An absolute nightmare to drive over when wet and soggy. You would be chaining in the middle of Summer after a rain storm....fun times
I'm thinken he either fell asleep or was reaching for something.It only takes a split second for a major catasrophy to strike.View attachment 34973
Still can't figure this one out. How did he miss the guard rail and still get stuck in that position
Well yeah I figured something like that started it. What really got me confused is the guard rail bends towards the trees to the right and was not touched. He had to go around the rail turn left then immediately right with enough momentum to wedge his truck and trailer half way through the small space between the pillars and the ceiling of the overpass and have half the trailer loaded sticking straight out
