I didn't have his air hooked up either. If the emergency side came off, there is no way the truck could pump enough air to keep the brakes off the tractor and front box.

thats a great point that prompts some questions. How did the guy get on the highway with his air turned off ( dragging the rear trailer?) or how did he make it to harrisburg with his air turned on and leaking without engaging the spring brakes on his front trailer and tractor?

The king pin could have broken, but that would still rip the airlines off. If the pintle or the chain(yellow only uses one chain) came off, you would see the dolly under the trl. I would also guess, and I am not sure, that if the dolly stayed with the bottom box, then the dolly would have overturned the trl.

Dear lord, all of your comments and questions are the same that run through my mind.
I wonder when he did figure it out? I assume at some point he did. That look and feeling of horror that ran through his mind. There is no way in heck, while driving, he could not notice the kite was missing , unless he never looked in rear view mirrors. Tie is right, this guy should not be driving.

I hope there is a follow up to the story. Maybe, if I have the time, I will find a yellow freight board to look at .

I figured that was when his moment of horror hit him. However, story says that yellow was still trying to track him down. He might have finally noticed something amiss and pulled into a truck stop and might still be there wondering what the hell to do.

In new york, some woman went the wrong way for a few miles on a highway until she finally collided with an s.u.v ., killing herself , some of her passengers, and some people in the other vehicle. No one could understand why. This incident occurred about a week and half ago. Autopsy results were released a few days ago. Her B.A.C. was twice the legal limit, with alcohol still in her stomach as well as detection of mariuana in her system. Open bottle of absolut vodka was found in her vehicle.
Incident made a lot of sense knowing that she was high as a kite (pardon the pun)
Yellow's incident in over95's story might make more sense in light of what drugs they are going to find in this driver's system.

Story says, "no fear for drivers safety"? I'll bet! They ain't gonna find this goofball.

That's why I just love these electric mirrors. Just fold em in (especially in bad weather) and everything's roses, rainbows and apple pie.

Ignorance is bliss.
That was probably the different looks on the yellow driver's face when his ignorance was removed.

Wah
So thats why the "whiteys" keep cutting us off in the yard. I feel so bad for flipping that guy off now not really.
Blowing the pic up it looks like only the left side landing gear is there.

We had a driver in our center lose his back trailer. Two guys in a pickup had been drinking and ran into it. I think it killed both of them. The feeder driver was off for a long time but eventually got his job back. He was a veteran driver that just screwed up. I'm sure there is not a day that goes by that he doesn't think about it.
