The transport truck is still connected to the trailer, and there is another p/u involved. I would not blame the transporter, accidents happen. other truck could have crossed the centerline or ran a stop sign.

I wonder if that other pickup was on the the trailer? Looks like they all rolled together.

I sold a Miller Meteor this year and while its not a restored car yet, it meant the world to the guy that was going to restore it. These don't grow on trees so it was a big deal to the new owner. He should have paid more for a better freight company. I hate to see stuff this happen.

Damn, that ambulance is a sad deal too.

Wow, the entire fifth wheel hitch platform pulled out of the truck's bed.

I just shipped a vehicle from mi to NC. When the driver got to my house As he had driven all night from NC. He told me he was heading to Il , 5+ hours away, to pick up another car, then back to NC. He owned the co. And mentioned time is money. The point of all this, as you probably figured by now, is these folks run hard and time is money. I don’t know if this was the case here but it is a reminder that if the transporter is cheaper there may be a reason, BB.

No idea if it had anything to do with the accident, but I wouldn’t attempt to pull that trailer down the road the way the car was loaded. With another car, or two on the trailer, ok, but not that car by itself loaded the way it was.

Too high
 

I’ve never liked that type of trailer. Seems as if your load would be top heavy. A lower center of gravity is always best IMO.

I have had a couple transported in the past couple of years and what I concluded is that if you have a big enough truck, an OK trailer and get the appropriate licenses, you can be a Car Hauler. Not saying they are all bad, just saying it does not seem to be that hard to get online and start hauling. Then there was the guy that had drug convictions in TX, was high on Meth and wiped out a bunch of Bikers (former Marine club) up in NH, never should have been on the road. The way this was loaded in addition to other issues potentially with the truck, not surprised. Pay peanuts, get monkeys. This guy probably saved $300 by going with a gypsy driver and that is what you get. I would be surprised if the hauler even had insurance, I doubt they are diligent about following regs once they get their license to haul. I see these guys alot on the highway, older 1 ton dually, trailers always look like an accident waiting to happen and the prices get driven so low by the brokers, they have to break rules to make a living.

----Reliable, for example, has to pat attention to all the rules. only so many hours a day, etc, etc, etc. Plus they have heavy insurance. You get what you pay for!.....Bill S
