This is whats left of the trailer I pulled last night.
I pulled this loaded trailer last night. I made it about 15 feet off of the scale before it collapsed. Thank God I didn't make it to the road yet. It was loaded with 44495 lbs of beer. God was looking after me on this one.

pontiac im glad your ok, first and formost... but i did notice a problem or two with that load your carrying... 1.) its sagging in the middle, so i dont think your going to be able to drive like that... and 2.) its a werner trailer did you expect anything less then for it to do what it did...

Glad nothing happened whilst you were on the highway...
Hey can ya just leave her there fer a spell,and i well be over that way to clean her all up for ya...
Years ago the place i worked at (a lighting company) had one of our trucks loaded break just like yours only it was on the Brooklyn bridge during rush hour. What a time was had by all there.
I'm a spotter so I only had to go a mile up the road to our drop yard. Because it happened on private property no police and no D.O.T. Beer doesn't pay much freight so they usually send us their worst shape trailers they have (all carriers). I don't drink beer but I know some of you would had cried. lol The funny thing is they are in transition to starting to load us heavier. They just bought us 2 day cabs to be able to handle the extra weight. I see this thing happening more in the future. I'm sure Werner was not happy about this bill. Their faulty equipment- their bill.
