Now thats funny !! :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

looks like 16-25 holes north of rear, at the least all the way forward you would think that would be enough support. nope

 

LMFAO!

 

Damn-You have a way better monitor than mine to count the Holes :P
To me it looks like it's way past the Stop

 

He might have had a very heavy point load in the middle somewhere too!
Never dragged many vans in my day...I've crawled under them and seen the lack of any kind of true support other than the side rails and don't trust them (WONDER WHY!!!!)

Flatbeds are my forte...they have two very heavy duty BEAMS under there and it would take more than just a fart from God to snap one like that!!!

He might have been one of those guys I've seen....I was loading some steel plate at a plant one day and Saida showed up with a van and loaded a pallet of VERY heavy looking steel right in the middle of his trailer behind some other stuff, then just some boxes at the rear...we were BS'ing and I said "man I would put that heavy stuff over the axle" he said the boxes came off first then the steel another 200 miles down the road...I wonder if the same thing could've happened to him!!! Give me two foot high beams any day!!!

 

I remember reading something
about this accident
it was soooooo
out of the ordinary
luckily the guy involved
was well padded
and not too badly hurt. :shock: :lol: :lol:

 

yoopr i just have 3 or 4 17inch samsung740n lcd hooked to one pc on a very nice mount which rests on a plywood sheet i cut and glued to the top of a cheap sauder nightstand "insta desk"
theirs still hope for trlr cut in half weld up a wall in front, slap on a kingpin plate good to go.

 

Wot, thats just wrong! :shock: :shock: :shock:

 

It,s true.... Honest it is, cross my heart :P :lol: :lol:

 

I'll tell ya what did that, seen it happen once too. Some Dry van companies still don't know, that when they sent a 53' box to pick up a brokered load of bricks, or simalar stuffs, that the load should NOT!! be (Belly-Loaded), or load placed directly in the middle of the trailer. 53' box trailers are not built to haul fright that heavy in the middle of the trailer, that kind of load needs to be seperated over the axles, or better still, on a flatbed.

Driver must not have thought much could have gone wrong, until he tried pulling that trailer over a bumpy surface, like old slab white road or something, a few hundred bumps, and CRACK!
