[kurpal_v2]

One is all it takes I guess.

Cheak the tires on that trailer

cheak the locks

then measure the trailer and container individually.


Frm what was told 45ft container on a 40ft trailer.

[southside crew]

Yes it was a 45ft.. I was lookin to see if was a 45ft trailer.. but I think it was a 40ft trailer..

So it IS true when I was told in a Defensive Driving course I did in early June that these container drivers REMOVE the clips/bolts which secure the container to the skeleton tray. They usually do this right after leaving the compound where they collect the containers (and those bolts/clips are SECURED on the compound!)

Note that the cab itself did not flip, and the container is separated from the skeleton.

Were the clips secured, the cab would have been on its side too. That = loss of income for the driver of cab

My god!

This would have more than likely resulted due too speed......They cannot remove the twist locks from the trailer they are made onto the skeleton...an observation is that some skeleton trailers have missing twist locks or non functional....the 45' container is not an issue on a 40' skelly trailer....the trailer leaving the fifth wheel coupling probably due to the weight of the container causing it to uncouple when tilting.

[larafan]

Cheak the tires on that trailer

cheak the locks

but check de cloud in de background nah.....

[Hook]

LOL @ not having an issue with a extra 5ft off the trailer. Dude that container was basically just resting on the skeleton with MAYBE 2 locks worked because I cant see the other 2/4 being in place..

I saw them removing the container this morn, tied down the back of the container with cable or rope to the trailer

[xtech]

they does try the same stunt carrying 2 20ft on a 40ft trailer the last container does be held down by 2 pins

Ive been around the transport business since I was born, hell I spent 1st 3years of my life riding in a hino dumper lol...Ive seen it all man all.




Take notice of the condition 90% of these trailers are in, yet license officers are cracking down on tint.

[DTAC]

Can someone here tell me is the law in regards to a cab and trailer having different license plates. I've always wondered if it was legal to do that.

[Humes]

Any children inside?

Yes it is, simply one truck isnt going to be using one trailer permanently.



As for the law, I dont have a motor vehicles act, can someone link me one online?

[legoRB]

since when hondahoe jivin truck

[kiamotors]

Most truck drivers drive like arses, so this is no surprise...

[King2995]

Lawd Fadda!!!
Why people does go down this path EVERY time there is an accident?

Everybody feel they know it all....or is big investigator.
Bess allyuh work for National security and solve all them murders for the country..... Put allyuh skills to good use.

Only one man talk sense so far. Is speeding caused this....Nothing else.
This turnover have nothing to do with the locks.
Even IF the locks had managed to remain engaged, that still would not have prevented the loss of load. Do some research on what those locks are designed to do, people.
There is no safety issue with putting a 45' container on a 40' trailer. ALL 45' containers have interlock points at 0', 40' and 45'. (Just look at the pictures, you'll be woo-ing and waa-ing). Look again and you would see the locks on the back of the trailer still in their elevated positions.
The only difference in this scenario is the 5' overhang at the back....and before somebody chooses to raise an idiotic discussion about "Dey go have to put ah red flag on de back", there are provisions for these issues. All yuh keep in mind what the black 'S' in the yellow circle is about. (If allyuh don't know...research people, research).
One other thing....people should keep in mind that all that is heard in 'Defensive Driving' courses may not be factual. Some issues could be exaggerated so as to 'drive' home the risks we face on our roadways (pun was really unintended). Don't get me wrong, having done it I believe that Defensive driving does have tremendous merit, its just that we should learn from our Beetham brothers and be able to sift through the garbage!
I hope is not Brent and his cohorts spreading de propaganda.

Oh yeah, tractor units and trailers are considered separate vehicles and thus they would have separate registrations. (for the person who asked....I didn't see anyone else respond).

Thanks for the opportunity to comment, people. Let the bashing and 'noob-isms' begin.
Good night to all.

Ok If you saw them moving it this morning you should have looked carefully that there were also FOUR TWIST LOCKS on the trailer that secured the container in FOUR positions. A 45 foot container has 8 areas for twist locks so it is normal too see a 40 trailer transporting a 45 foot container...once again it is secured in the FOUR positions which this one appeared too be look at the pics carefully. As for the extra 5 feet it is excessed 2.5 feet too the rear and 2.5 feet too the front ( which is allowed by law). Next time you are in traffic have a look so you can educate your self a little more. Removing it tied down with straps or whatever...well yuh right that might definitely be a problem.
