This is whats left of the trailer I pulled last night.

PONTIACDM · 11-11-2009, 08:50 AM

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.

White Rook · 11-11-2009, 09:13 AM

I'm glad to hear you are ok. Werner used to deliver to us all of the time.

Capt'n Mil Coll · 11-11-2009, 09:16 AM

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

jerry · 11-11-2009, 09:17 AM

Glad you weren't hurt.

Deersniper · 11-11-2009, 10:09 AM

That must of been some of that heavy gravity brew. Things that happen in the yard stay in the yard.

BunnyWabbit · 11-11-2009, 10:09 AM

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

larmus · 11-11-2009, 10:40 AM

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...

BaserRonin · 11-11-2009, 10:54 AM

Amazing! I can not imagine that happens often.

SKS NOOB · 11-11-2009, 11:07 AM

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?

Ten Man · 11-11-2009, 11:22 AM

WOW!!

As all above said, good thing you were not on the road!

I bet the scale officials were not too happy!!

big boomer · 11-11-2009, 12:07 PM

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.

SwedeSteve · 11-11-2009, 01:35 PM

Say a prayer for yourself.

Twitch2120 · 11-11-2009, 01:37 PM

did you atleast get to take a keg home? maybe a 6 pack?

seriously though, glad you are safe and the only thing thats hurt is the brewery's wallet

ACfixer · 11-11-2009, 01:47 PM

Wow, glad nobody got hurt.

big shrek · 11-11-2009, 03:29 PM

I woulda loved some pics of how they had to tow that off...LOL

PONTIACDM · 11-11-2009, 03:42 PM

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.

rondog · 11-11-2009, 03:54 PM

Trailer had a little road salt rot did it?

RookieShooter · 11-11-2009, 04:13 PM

Did you get any of the beer?
