h67st Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) I found these photos on the interwebs, says this truck was hauling a 331,000 lb. press and the trailer failed. They weren't sure how they were going to move the thing out of the way. Nashville, Michigan Sep. 6th.

mechohaulic Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 quick look it seems like 4 wreckers set to retrieve the load. study closer 'it's 3 white wreckers and what looks like a 4th blue wrecker is actually the rear section of trailer. or I really do need new glasses...
