Another roll over.

[Truckie]

Yep that's right another roll over. Same driver nine months later on his side again. Driver said the load froze in the noise. But he later told me and some other drivers he it jammed up and he tried to rock the truck.
I did not see the truck on its side but I did get these pictures after it was up righted and moved out of the way.
The insurance CO is going to fix the truck. We paid $40,000 3 years ago for it and the blue book on it was $38,000. Not to bad. Some body work to the hood, new door, exhaust, not sure if they are going to straighten up the cab or replace it with another.
The Mack Vision you see off to the left in the pictures is mine.

I think its time to release the driver before he kills himself or somebody else..... and before the insurance company makes it mandatory.

Is it scary that I know people who would pull the stack off the cab, replace the mirror, headlight, and any broken glass, and just keep driving it?

Is it scary that I'm probably one of them?

No not really, because we basically did that to the last one the driver rolled over. So there are two of us out there that have done that. ;p ;p

I'd make him drive it like that with a big sign on the side that said How's my Driving?

Nothing wrong with that. New trucks are too expensive... I can only imagine what a big'un costs...
