Built Ford Tough - Oops!

[BSeyler]

When you come to a T in the road and you have a notice of a stop sign and then the actual stop sign, you should try to stop before doing this! Looks like a total loss. It’s been quite a while since we’ve had someone in this pond. Luckily, we didn’t have cattle in this pasture right now and the driver is okay. The State Trooper said the guy told him the brakes were acting up, so he was trying to get it to their shop to get it fixed. Trooper asked why warranty didn’t take care of that on a 2020 vehicle. I guess he just looked at the ground.

Nice little bow in the middle of that truck.

That’s probably what......a $125,000 rig?

at least........

Then there are the items and boxes and contents....

He’s actually pretty lucky he didn’t get any farther out in the pond. We had it dug out a few years ago and it’s probably twelve feet deep in the middle. He may have drowned...

The State Trooper said the guy told him the brakes were acting up, so he was trying to get it to their shop to get it fixed.

I bet next time he has a brake problem he gets the darn thing towed to a shop instead of pushing on. Lucky there were no dead bodies around. Maybe The State Trooper gets it checked for bad brakes just to be sure the story checks out. Like all black box were the brakes "on" if the airbag deployed.

Fishing for sharks with the crane?

No wait, he will be back to work tomorrow and fit right in here:

A State Trooper stopped this morning to give us some paperwork for that company's insurance. He said the wrecker came out of St. Louis which is over 200 miles away. That seems a little weird. He also said the guy told him about not having brakes, but there sure are a lot of black marks on the highway for not having brakes. The highway he crossed is pretty busy with gravel trucks and he's lucky he didn't meet one. Where he landed is probably ten or more feet lower than the highway, so it must have been a hard landing! It could have been a whole lot worse!

Sounds like distracted driving to me! Have seen quite a few people streaming movies while driving to pass their time! It's a scary world out there these days. Make me feel a bit better riding around in the 3500!

Someone was messing around with his phone, or a RAM mounted confuser.

Nice crane, nice truck overall. I could use that, bent or not.

Lots of good stuff on there. I could give that welder a good home.
