Yep, and anyone helping him unload the truck in the dark is gonna be like, “WTF happened and why is EVERYTHING thrown about inside this trailer!!! And yet, most likely, neither will put two and two together, until the cops show up at the Dollar General looking for the driver of a semi-truck with a severely damaged trailer!!!
@@Trakehner20 Lol. Thanks buddy. I comment stuff all the time, here on RU-vid, in response to others comments in an attempt to be funny, but some folks that comment afterwards just don’t get it and it’s evident in their replies. I mean, it’s pretty funny on my end, or at least I thought so, when I was typing it out so I’m not so sure what changed exactly. However, I have a very strong gut feeling that it isn’t so much me and my comedic value and/or my portfolio of work, but really more so, all of the “I ain’t got no sense of humor, boy”, stick in the mud types that I am working with, so from the very start, I’m working with an 0-2 pitch as my first pitch of my at bat… if that makes sense. Lmao.
@@jongoin4404 Haha, well that's probably the best reply I've had in awhile! People don't want to do the "hard work" of trying to get things sometimes. They just shrug and go on. That's people today I think in general as well.
@@carloscastianothe power lines were down, you’re telling me you wouldn’t immediately get away from power lines? You are aware vehicles are made of conductive materials right?
In fairness, I've been on some of those farm roads where there is washout underneath the edge, several feet across the road, and that long straight road has a super sudden dip to the shoulder, that you never saw change on the horizon... it can throw you off balance and maybe cause this.
What the Hades is going on with truckers? We've had incidents lately of unlicensed, alien driver around here lately that have got me spooked. I don't trust truckers anymore.
@@rcnelsonyou have answered you own question!!!! Used to be the trucking industry was heavily monitored, with rules, regulations and training!!! Now, the only qualification you need is to be breathing, they put you behind the wheel of these things and tell you to go !!!!!
I've noticed this happens often in dash cam clips I have watched with this type of road with no shoulder. The pavement acts like a rail if you drop the steer tire off it if there's no gravel on the side to at least level the ground to the hight of the pavement.
PA272, I had a grain truck flip in front of me a few months ago. It was about a half mile behind were your video starts. Crossed over the creek and going up the hill on the curve were Kirk’s mill rd comes in his trailer tires went off the edge and pulled him over.
This video should be used in driving schools. Amazing following distance. Way too often I have other semis following me way too close thinking that they'll be able to pass. Heck one did one time right at a blind right curve. Had I not slammed the brakes, he would've hit a car head on. If you know it's not safe to pass, stay way back. You gain nothing by tailgating.
If that pole isn’t there, he’s a rollover, the hit was the only thing that kept him upright. Near the end of the video, are they police lights flashing in the distance, or the wires shorting out?
Appears to be a car with LED headlights coming toward the camera. I’ve noticed on a lot of dash cam vids that for some reason LED lights appear to flicker. No idea why that is.
@@djplayskeys likewise.... probably because of so many different angles of chrome behind the lens...whereas old headlights were round or rectangle...just saying
Hello george vasques! Can I use your video in my video plus comments to help people learn lessons so they can drive safer? I'll put your name on the screen, thank you for reading.
I was going to say before I saw him hit it… in his defense there was no where to pullover safely… but after seeing he already found a spot on the other side, he just needed to stop
Dollar General steering wheel holder was clearly off in lala land, but that is yet another one of those miserable paved county roads built for tight rope actors.
I've not driven semi much but I've heard There is a trailer wand. A hand operated trailer only brake that I've heard you may need to use to put the trailer back behind the tractor. He may have used it. For passenger car drivers it's probably not understandable, but it's supposed to help in exactly that scenario. ( I think)
If he missed the fact that he clipped a pole hard enough to break it he realized it when he stopped next and looked at his trailer. I tend to think he knew it because he should certainly have looked in his mirrors once he got straight again. He would have been able to see some of the devastation he left behind as well as the driver behind him stopped in the road. Good chance he kept going to avoid all that comes with getting caught. I have about 15 years of long haul in my earlier days and so I have some experience over the road with semi trucks.
Trooper: “Sir, how could you possibly have not noticed hitting a telephone pole?” Trucker: “Because I was on my telephone”. Trooper: “Fair enough. Now please step out of the vehicle and put your hands on the fender well. Do you have anything that could poke me, stick me, hurt me? You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, you will be provided with a public defender by the state. Do you understand these rights as I have spoke? Watch your head”
Yes to usung it.. 45 minutes later hes was being interviewed by PA State Police. Another hour later he was still there,no police, truck showed no obvious damage.
Hey there! We were wondering if we may also use this clip in an up-coming video and potentially some of your other dashcam clips in future videos as well? We'll be sure to provide on-screen credit. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. Hope you have a great day!
Hello again! Just wanted to give a heads up that your clip was posted in today's video if you are interested in checking it out! We would also love to hear any feedback you may have, whether good or bad to help us improve on future videos. Thanks again and hope you have a great weekend!
The reason you are safe is because the rubber tires and air inside them prevents you from being grounded. That is not how a Faraday cage works. Good try though.
@@ev6558 😂 Clearly you’re not an engineer. That is exactly how a Faraday cage works and my statement is easily googled. The air and rubber in your tires isn’t doing anything for you other than conducting the energy into the ground. I’ll pose the same question to you the lineman instructor at the academy asked and let you answer it for yourself. “Do you really think that a lighting bolt that has just traveled 10miles through the air with 300 million volts and 30,000 amps of energy is going to be stopped by a 1/2 inch of rubber and air?”. In other words electricity seeks the path of least resistance and all that metal in a car channels the energy around you and into the ground. This is the same reason airplanes get hit by lightning all the time and people don’t get hurt at all. It’s important to understand that with downed power lines that energy can travel 100ft or more through the ground. There are many instances of first responders being killed as they step out of their vehicles from downed power-lines and the 1/2” of rubber in their shoes didn’t save them. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ve6XGKZxYxA.htmlsi=zs84gJ4wYRenjqtI
Yes you may. It's just as described. In the end he drives off. 45 minutes later after firemen secured the scene I left. Driver was 3 miles up the road getting a good talking to by PSP.
