    That happens every now and then. Here's some pics of an Aston Martin that happened to fall off a while back.

    I love the first pic BL. Looks like the one guy is explaining just how it happened.

    You didn't have the pic of the owner beating the driver with a baseball bat? I'm QUITE sure that would've been in there.

    There was a driver who picked up where I did when I hauled cars. He was going too fast when he hit the head ramp and went right off the top of the truck. He got a forklift to put the car on his truck and tried to convince the consignee that it was that way when he picked it up.

    Even when things go right, it is still easy to scratch or damage a vehicle. You need to take extra care when loading and unloading. These guys just got careless.

    Cars is one of the things I've never hauled. But that does not mean I have not seen things that made me cringe. A driver in CA backs over the fiberglass measuring pole, one in OH is across the ditch, unloading cars to try to get back across the ditch and onto the road. The guy in MO that dropped a Dodge Stealth off the back end at 70 mph. (being a Dodge, it was not worth stopping to pick up any parts.) Or, getting hung up on the edge of the blacktop parking lot, going onto the gravel at Santa Rosa, NM, and having about 3 inches of air under his drives.

    Of course, car haulers are not the only ones to have mishaps along the way. And, those cars are not the most expensive mistakes a driver can make in his career. There's all kinds of room for every driver to make errors. (Yes, Hobo, I did use it correctly... This time. ) Used to have a chance to see logs come off a trailer on the hiway, although that's a rare sight anymore.
    Destroy the cities...
    and they will rebuild them.
    Destroy the farms...
    and grass will grow in the streets of the cities.

    Destroy the economy of the blue-collar worker...
    and grass will grow in the executive offices.

    The bill has come due.
    ( R E T I R E D , and glad of it)

    One winter I saw a carhauler on US2 west of the Sault on its side in the ditch with a whole load of brand new Escalades. Kudos to the driver: Not a one of them had moved an inch off the trailer.

    I saw a wreck on I-79 years ago involving a car hauler. From the looks of it, he probably went to sleep and missed the turn. There were no skid marks or other vehicles involved. He was laying on his side in the median.

    His load: A completely full load of brand new Corvettes.
