Not cool! What caused the truck to flip? Is that your work truck?

Employee: Hey boss, I've got a little problem with the 18 wheeler I need you to look at.

Boss: Now what, flat tire, dead battery, out of diesel ?

Employee: Well...., Just come out and take a look.

Boss: Holy Sh.t. Boss thinking: Should I fire him ? The next guy might do the same thing. If I keep him, I don't think I have to worry about him doing this again.

I hope no one was under that, because steel toed boots would not help.

I've seen dump trucks do that but never a rolloff, but that looks like a mine and strange things happen in the mines. Drivers do have a way with overstatement and understatement.

Yep very pissssed!  :x I've come close to droping her over a couple of times, but always managed to avoid it. Slow Mo, plenty of time to brace me and the dog from injury. Even so he came flying past on his way out of my open window. Lucky he did'nt get between the cab and the ground.

 Unstable surface I was working on gave way and she flopped to the ground. Not much damage to the tractor, but the semi has a couple of tweaks fore and aft on the chassis. Hope to have her straightened out in a week. Still got another unit to keep me ticking over while they are in the shop. Would'nt be so bad if I was'nt the boss though! :roll:

Yep I did some swearing allright. Muldoon (the co pilot) bailed out of the window after touchdown and proceeded there and then to do a giant big grogen only one foot from the scene. He gets a bit nervous now and then.  :-o

The load raced out of the container one side and the other side had not as much space behind for the coal to run out. Which in turn put an uneven wieght bias on the elevated deck. And over she went!  In hind-sight I should have chucked the old bitch in first and booted it to allow the whole load to empty. A week on the turps in Sydney defineatly slowed my reaction time considerably! :-P

Hey Tim did you get your truck fixed? I drove a T600 for quite a while and I have to say it was one of my favorites. I'd let you borrow my pete but it ain't worth a darn if you get paid by the kg., its kind of heavy.
