Wrecked my truck today :(
He never told me I had to replace it. I took responsibility for it. I feel it's the right thing to do because it was my fault. After talking with the attorney it turns out I am legally obligated to replace it anyway. I am not his direct employee, I'm more of a sub contactor. I own my own...- ClemsonIDI

I wouldn't think I could get into any trouble? I never stated who my insurance provider actually is. I'm not taking them to court, but if I was i definitely wouldn't post anything about it online.- ClemsonIDI

Wrecked my truck today :(
I've hauled a lot of stuff on a trailer including large equipment for the farm I use to work at. I've never experienced anything like that in my life. It got out of control so fast I didn't realize what was happening until it was too late. I don't think some people realize how serious it is...- ClemsonIDI

The good news is the turbo kit was already on the truck when I bought it. My biggest expense on it was taking it to the transmission shop and getting a new clutch, flywheel, reverse, and fifth. Unfortunately that was only a few months ago. As much as I would like to keep the truck for its heart...- ClemsonIDI

They do look at the market in the area. Trucks like mine go for about 6 or 7k around here. That's my only hope that they'll give me a decent pay out.- ClemsonIDI

Twisted the hitch, both axles are bent. Fenders are crushed. It's not worth my time messing with. It was about 3k brand new.- ClemsonIDI

It has definitely changed my view on adding aftermarket parts or accessories to a vehicle.- ClemsonIDI

Update: I've been on the phone all day. I contacted several different attorneys. They all came to the conlusion i am liable for the trailer since im the one at fault. It didn't help that I got a citation for "too fast for conditions". One very helpful guy I talked to said it wouldn't be worth me...- ClemsonIDI

That's what I'm questioning now. I specified that they were bolted to the truck. I misunderstood about the type of business policy I had. Apparently it was insured as a personal vehicle with "business use" not a full commercial policy. I'm pretty upset about this whole thing. Not exactly what...- ClemsonIDI

Hopefully this information will help someone. I knew you were suppose to balance your trailer load, but obviously I didn't take it seriously enough to slow down for a minute and fix it. And make sure if you borrow a trailer that the owner has it insured otherwise you're stuck with it. I would...- ClemsonIDI

It definitely rolled. That's one of the few parts of the wreck I can remember. You should have seen the looks on people's faces that saw it happen. I think they were expecting me to be dead or something. That ladder rack was all aluminum, but It did cantilever over the cab. There was a 5 gallon...- ClemsonIDI

I was doing about 60. I think I hit a big bump in the road and that's what started it swaying. It got away from me pretty quick. I was trying to slow down without slamming on the brakes. Obviously that didn't do much good. I've heard about hitting the break controller, but I didn't didn't have...- ClemsonIDI

Yup the block was too far back. I had the front loaded with a whole display from a big contractor convention. I was on the way to return the pallet of wall block. I didn't bother to move it forward because the Bobcat wouldn't reach far enough. I knew better. Just goes to show sometimes it pays...- ClemsonIDI
