You gotta have a good backup plan

ok, so the dumb city boy has to ask- why did the tractor trailer roll back? i thought semi brakes were failsafe- ie, it takes air pressure to open them.

you'd think that the wrecker guy would have spooled out when he saw what was going on. dho!

the truck rolled over while driving, and im sure the "scared poopless" driver never popped the park brake, the truck held air so the brakes were still off when the rig was right sided.

quite often you will see tow drivers throw a 6x6 a few feet back/front from where the wheels will land, just in case the truck wants to roll. unfortunatly this recovery guy was having a really bad day and learned his lesson the hard way.
