I’m actually impressed that he was able to take it clean off.

I'm not too sure that's a container chassis, it doesn't have the pin locks for the container.

Toomuchhorntalk69@reddit

Is it possible that he’s the recovery driver and he’s gonna pull it onto that chassis like a roll off?

[-]

Edge2110@reddit

I’m almost positive he was roll off transporting it to being with and in the one who hit the bridge

[-]

Toomuchhorntalk69@reddit

I think you might be right. It does look like the rear of that trailer is what hit the bridge doesn’t it.

KTMman200@reddit

Most likely going to use the heavy to crane it onto the recovery chassis.

[-]

JankyMark@reddit (OP)

Yeah I figured that , it just reminded of that

[-]

Is the bridge even low? I’d think you’d have to smack it pretty hard to somehow rip the tandems off. But the bridge and the trailer don’t seem to be damaged at all. (Well, not from a bridge strike anyways).

It looks like the bridge is just a coincidence unless I’m missing something.

That reefer box and that chassis are obviously two different units.

[-]

Raezzordaze@reddit

This. I imagine that's the recovery unit and not the original driver. Unless this was some weird towing rig maybe?

[-]

Largofarburn@reddit

That’s what I was trying to figure out. But if it was for recovery why are they on opposite sides of the bridge?

“Dammit Jim! We already cleaned this up once!”

This is the skill they can't teach you in school

cavehill_kkotmvitm@reddit

Well.

That's not fucking ideal.

[-]

Renegadegold@reddit

Pulled those away many of times but never with the landing gear

[-]

PIGEONMAN569@reddit

I can't tell what I'm seeing. I thought I knew what was happening in the first image, but now I'm noticing that brick is a wall and not truck load.

[-]

No_Inflation7432@reddit

Umm. Whatever this trailer is it wasn't pulling that box unless you guys think the doors were facing the tractor?

[-]

Live4vrRdieTryin@reddit

New driver here. How many times a year does this happen? Why dont the eggheads in finance departments get some gizmo that scans the overpass and starts beeping loud to alert the driver?

[-]

ldlong2832@reddit

What is going on here?

[-]

OldBrokeGrouch@reddit

The trailer on the ground is missing its axles for some unknown reason. The truck chassis that you see in picture 1 is obviously the recovery unit that it will be placed on and strapped to in order to relocate it.

[-]

ResidentComplaint19@reddit

Why is it facing the wrong direction?

[-]

yes-disappointment@reddit

cheap-o tow service probably saw a intermobile chassis and said you know what, I dont need a flat bed to move that trailer. didn't account for the added height of the chassis.

[-]

Slayer7_62@reddit

Reefer box was being transported on top of the chassis, note how both have their own landing gear. Now if it was a makeshift trailer or heading to a scrap yard I have no clue.

[-]

ResidentComplaint19@reddit

That make sense. So the chassis was probably sitting like a foot higher and dudes probably in flio flops so this was inevitable

[-]

shutup_imeating_dirt@reddit

rrrrreally good question

[-]

Raymond_de_Vendome@reddit

1 way street?

[-]

shutup_imeating_dirt@reddit

I just imagined the trailer goin “I’m freeee ! oh shit I need them leg things actually”

[-]

Cutmeinfor25@reddit

You understand the unit on the ground is facing the opposite direction of the trailer attached to the truck and the unit on the ground would’ve actually said “how the **** did a driver manage to delete my axles?”

Clearly the trailer had landing gear and the unit on the ground also had landing gear. I suppose you just have to look at the side that the landing gear would be on

[-]

JankyMark@reddit (OP)

Yeah this is in dc a lot of low bridges in that area
