Wow! Small truck for that big camper. I have two words for them...Sway Bars. I'll also bet that trailer did not have working brakes & brake controller. When oscillations like that begin, slowing down just a little and/or activating the trailer brakes only will pull the slack out of the sway pretty quickly. Verdict: driver error, poor judgement, unprepared. Just hope he made it out alive, to tow another day... More safely. |

I don't know where this was taken, but where we live, an open road is like an invitation for truckers to drive fast. I get that, and know that they are professionals with many hundreds of thousands of miles under their belts. My question is, "why would anybody pulling a travel trailer, especially one that size, pass a semi going 70 or 75?" He's dang lucky he didn't kill anyone else.
