Driving without wheels?

[TASFarms]

The sparks flying at night would be something to see. You would definitely notice that in the driver seat

This racial profiling on bad truck drivers is getting old.

Yeah, so many racists on here. Shame on you guys. LMAO

I see a picture of a truck with no reference as to what happened to it. Does not sound like it links to the original post.

Hope trucking issues can get under control without a lot of extra rules and regulations. That will just make it so farmers can't afford to own or use a truck unless they are massive sized farms. Smaller farms will be pushed into tractors and wagons like in Europe.

Already that way in Ontario. Western provinces were way behind in their heavy vehicle regs pre-Broncos.

Local trucker brought me in a load of urea and the Center tires and hub were missing on the bridge of the super b. Driver had no idea they were missing until I showed him. Couldn’t tell driving it.

Stuff happens to everyone. This racial profiling on bad truck drivers is getting old.

There would of been constant sparks from steel on asphalt as well the trailer weaving all over the highway or street.

This person couldn’t have used his mirrors.

That’s the exact picture that came with the story.
No way anyone with half a brain would not have noticed that trailer dragging like that. Yes things happen to everyone but no valid registration, no valid safety inspection, and no valid reason to keep driving like that. I don’t want idiots like this one obviously is on the road when my family is in the road do you?

If the photo is indeed the correct one for the story then yes, that guy should not be driving.

There should be a rule where you have to have a vehicle licence for 3 years or 4 years before you are eligible for a truck or bus license. Perhaps proof you have driven outside the city limits on highways.

I still question if that photo is not mixed up with another story.

In my case when the Center tires and drums fell off the middle of the tridem group the axle remained suspended in the air. Road was rough with snow and frost heaves, the local very experienced driver did not notice these Center tires had fell off.


Drivers, mechanics and tire shops need better communication and checks and balances so if the tires are off that the driver (steering wheel holder) knows they have to be retorqued and a check off saying it has to be done. Lots of these double shift trucks are putting on 10,000 km per week.

Perhaps inspections/safeties need to be every x number of km or yearly.

Those pictures were taken by NewsTalk Radio for this story. I’m not sure why you are having a hard time accepting that the trailer actually had no tires on one side of the trailer?

Wonder how far it was drug with no wheels. Doesn't look like much damage to axles just drums that much could maybe have got damaged just tying to get stopped and off the road.
