I would guess either an over head door broke or someone pulled the rope too hard and spit the gate out. I have seen that done at our coop. Luckily we were able to stand on the side of the semi and shove it back in. I have heard of straight trucks knocking the doors off when dumping too. Either way it is a heck of a mess.

Says in the article that the driver forgot to put the bed down and hit some crucial stuff to stop from grain flowing. A farmer up here had one of his elevators collapse on one of his trucks, made a huge mess and buried the truck |

That would make sense. I didn't click on the link. I would be a mad mofo if I had to clean up a mess made by a moron like that.

I think he's going to have a problem at the weigh stations with that load. : )
Cleaning that up must have been a bear.

"So how'd this happen?"
"Well... I could lie and say the hydraulics where not working correct, but I'm a bit hungover and forget to put the box down"

Truck is owned by Thacker Harvesting. Come on Clayton, you have to know if that was ours it would be white with yellow fenders and have a international logo on the front ;D I thought that Minklers had a truck like that? |

Looks like someone needs to get out the shovel.
