Imagine crossing that bridge and having a big yellow thing thrust up through the deck in front of you.

Now that is funny right there. Saw a f'tard driving a dump truck down I25 in Fountain, CO with the bed all the way up. I drove dump for a long time and how you can drive down the road with the box up and not know it is beyone me. Anyway, this f'tard is doing 70 and you guessed it, hit the underpass. Lifted the front end of the truck off the ground and smashed the cab of that Autocar **** near flat! Man that guy was such a moron, near killed him.

A guy driving a roll-off container truck DID get killed locally here, just a month or 2 ago.... Left the 'frame' up. did just like you said, squashed the cab flatter than a pancake

Its like I was saying in another post. If you make the truck so easy to drive that anyone can drive it then you are asking for disaster. Some pepole have no bussenes behind the wheel.
