And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Incorrect tow unit. You do not tow a big rig with a single axle, especially on snow, and with just a cable. Both drivers were idiots. Insurance will probably not cover the tow company claim, due to incompetence. When towing, you can never trust the truck driver to be reliable or competent. Could be his first day in the truck. For that matter, you also can't expect the tow driver to know his business. Real crapshoot all around, unfortunately.
i bet the insurance claim went on for weeks.
ReplyDeleteWrecker driver got out, must have been a driver in the semi also?
ReplyDeleteI've never had a CDL but the tow's hookup to the rig didn't look right. Too long a lead on the cable.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely.
DeleteYou gotta have a solid hookup to pull shit around like that. Anything else is going to put Mr. Murphy's law in play.
Your diagnosis is correct. Add to the way too long tow line... the towee wasn't paying attention. FUBAR
