Concrete beam shears truck cab right off! 

Better without the background noise

People: this is why you give truck drivers plenty of room, they are trained to drive safe on the roads around you besides they're just trying to do their job.

Believe it or not, the driver and his passenger both walked away from what's left of that truck with only minor injuries.

This exact same scenario happened to a fellow trucker ahead of me in a convoy when a bread van turned left in front of him. Only, there were no survivors. To better explain, we were hauling beams going to a bridge being built over the causeway in St Simons Island around 1986. It was about 0500 hrs, dark and foggy (should not have had a permitted load underway in those conditions.) He was trying to pass the bread van when it turned left into his path. The truck driver was killed as were two occupants of the bread van. Along with the lives lost the highway was shut down for two days to remove the wreckage and the construction project was shut down for two months because of the loss of the beam which had to be recreated.

I hope the driver was ok 🙏🙏

Soon as they load it on the new truck. All the next drivers in line be like 😵 double pay. 😂

I'd love to know the story, that prestressed/precast concrete generally doesn't move. In fact it's hard to get it to slide when you want it to slide

Hope they bought a lottery ticket right after they changed they're pants

I'd say he was lucky it sheered cab off frame

This is at an intersection, so we already know what happened to cause it. Looking at the drivers side of the cab and door, he likely is ok.

That is a kickass collection of wrecker's you got there, damn near a million bucks! Great Job

Excellent production value, keep up the good work, put a big description in your RU-vid bio, let people know who you are you have a link to your website, don’t let Pepe’s in LA take all the glory ha ha ha

Learned nothing. Didn’t put stop chain on front.

when ya do something dangerous everyday you tend to forget how dangerous it really is.

Watched a car honk at a trucker yesterday. Like of course they cant see your blinkers they cant see your whole ass car nex to their hood. Figure out how to let trucks flow, because they dont stop. It's already dangerous with the weather and awful roads. Dont be the reason we die out here. Delivering your stuff shouldn't cost us our lives... or yours.

If driver OK headache rack did it's job

With music like that I'll watch anything you got😂

Must have really had to dynamite the brakes to make that happen. Open your eyes people, the roadways are only safer when everyone pays attention.

I 🙏🏿🙏🏿the fellow trucker made it out ok , this a first for me seeing thins in 38+ year

Gave you a sub from Upstate New York

Shows how the headache rack does it's job. I don't think the driver and passenger would have fared so well without it.

Too much speed for that type of load the driver should have known better.

That’s what a headache rack is for cause otherwise the driver and passenger…would have…well…thankfully just minor injuries…guess it wasn’t cross chained in the front? Everyone be safe out there!

Well Ernie, this is a proud moment for your company out there so cleanly and professionally representing in an otherwise not-so-good moment!!

Get rid of those stupid sound effects

Please make more videos and longer

The load slides when it isn't secured properly. Pretty simple

Stacks were still good…tell the truck owner I’ll give him a 100 bucks for the pair!

Unsecured load on an icy trailer.

Oh wow I hope th driver was ok

Did the driver survive?

Hey 3784 each truck is almost a million

Obviously the securement standard for loads like this is totally weak . Double it and add requirement of three heavy chains to prevent forward movement or strap equivelent

That's a double tee concrete for the construction of high rise parking lot! I have hauled many of these back in my trucking yrs yes they can be very dangerous because of the only way you can secure them two chains in front and two in the back most of these loads weigh up to 70 thousand lbs hope the driver is ok!

I hauled precast hauling concrete walls for 14 years that shit is crazy

Well speeding and not paying attention there you happens all the time

This is more the truck owners fault than anything!! As A retired 40 yrs driver, nothing is more stupid than owning a truck with no cab protection in place on any truck hauling any flatbed operation!!! No headboard no headache rack nothing!! This is pure utter stupidity . No driver should drive any truck especially oversized or overweight products that are abundantly dangerous with no protection on rear of cab. I see this stupid shit daily. Steel or coils anything that will move won’t stop when the truck does instantly. The load will always go forward, and usually it kills either the driver or motorist without a protection system in place behind the cab . Anyone who pulls any flatbed or oversized loads is a complete fool with no cab protection.

Why don't these trailers that carry these loads have safety barriers at front of trailers.

Big Bucks for those wreckers to come out and clean the mess up .

That beam is called a “double-T”.

Looks like a total write off right there!

DAMN !!! EVEN IF THEY HAD THE DOT CRASH BAR/ CAB PROTECTOR, IS UNLIKELY THERE WOULD BE AN BETTER OUTCOME!!!😱😱😱😱

Ever heard of a Crane !

Mute warning.

Slow down in town..

He was probably driving a lil too fast

Did the driver survive

Music sucks on this

Should have been cross chained in the front.

Nice video love it❤🎉

Lucky it knocked the cab off, otherwise...

How, was the beam, not out of the front of the truck??

Some explanation would have been nice. Who hit who? What happened?

From 1 truck to another

OOPS

The truck driver is at fault for not having his load secure. He shouldn't operate his truck in such an unsafe manner!
