Even a well-secured load can come through the cab. Should have had a "headache rack" installed. Those are large metal plates designed to angle a shifting load up and over the cab rather than penetrating through.

Good old California drivers. Gotta love em.
I have no way to figure this. I can see each side of the story happening, plus three ways it could have happened. I bet this was either a stupid foreign driver or a rookie who had tunnel vision. There is NO WAY a competent driver wouldn't feel the initial impact and hear the tires squealing not to mention the trailer pulling to the right and not investigate. |

I recognized that road, I-15, north out of San Bernardino, well before the narrator spoke it "Cajon Pass". It's a brutal unrelenting stretch of up-fucking-hill for about 20 miles. The truck was in the right hand lane doing his 40 mph or whatever. And *O*blivious, for sure.
Tha's a very rough stretch of road. Not the surface, just the slog. The opposite direction has runaway lanes of cushy beds of gravel where molten brakes go to die. That road's a bitch.

Of all the stupid/bad truck driver videos I've seen, there's a preponderance of Swift drivers.

Ole and Lena were so excited to get a new cellular phone. Ole was to call when he was on his way home from town. Ole called Lena when he entered the freeway.
"Lena put supper on, I'm on my vay home." Lena says, "Be careful cause I hear dat some nut is driving the wrong vay on the freevay." "SOMEVONE? It's worse than that, Lena; where I'm dere's at least a hundred cars going the wrong vay!"

I think 135 ft is overkill but it's good to let him know you're there.

Sneak over to the left a bit and the driver can see your side mirror. Then we know to brake suddenly.

Hope Pam doesn't see this too much, at least not personally.

I have had people toss everything from bolts to spark plugs to firecrackers at me. I call police and report them if I can get their plate numbers. Never lost any glass though. Yet.
