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.
What a cargo claim.
