There used to be a time when the gibberish spoken in these kind of short clips would be enough to determine if the showcased subject idiocy had taken place in the United States or somewhere else. Not anymore. In fact, the idiocy displayed on that road seems quite at home in what's left of these United States.
You're right about that - well that used to be the usual thing to see - but lately I'm seeing more and more trucks pulling wide loads without a pilot or trail vehicle.
"You'd think the transport company would have checked and double checked the route for clearances."
In the UK they do. I knew a guy who drove trucks for a company that specialised in transporting abnormal loads. A massive amount of work went into planning the route.
When you see a fuselage strapped straight to a trailer rather than cradled it's usually headed for the boneyard. Usually. That doesn't help the damage to the crosswalk.
The driver should have seen this coming. You can have the best intel for an operation. It's up to the operator to use it correctly. Bad driver! Ohio Guy

ReplyDeleteOoooops! There goes $$$$$$$$$$$$$ of airplane. You'd think the transport company would have checked and double checked the route for clearances.
ReplyDeleteTriple-checked, then verified.
DeleteWhat I'm used to seeing is, if an oversize load is also over height, the pilot car has a mast a little taller than the loaded truck.
