Exclamation This is why you hope your truck never catches on fire...

Its an ugly sight......



The one in the middle caught fire first and then it spread to the other two......

:lol2: One never knows..... :lol2:

So far the word is, according to a review of the security tapes.....there was an "apparent" electrical short on the one in the middle.....which got the whole mess going. But one never knows...... :eek2:

Electrical short huh? Like from the batteries, inverter or say a.............generator? If that happened at our company they would have pulled the burning one away from the fence so we could surround the burning truck with more then just two other trucks.

If there was a driver in these trucks at the time I hope that they got out OK.

It happened on a weekend....two of the tractors were daycabs...and the other I'm not sure about...but it was unoccupied. No injuries, only insurance losses..... but it shows that tractors can burn down to "nothing"....and it doesn't take long!
