Exclamation 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.

Beer ?! Did someone say beer ?

... all kidding aside, glad to hear you are okay. That could have been very bad.

Looks like that trailer was light about 5 pounds. Doesnt a 12 pack weight about that? Hummmmmm. So why did it break?

You are very fortunate it didn't happen at 65 mph. Someone was looking out for you.

Thanks goodness you weren't on the road when that happened. Or maybe the trailer was drunk and couldn't do it's job properly cuz it was full of beer?

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.
