That isn't the first logging truck to start into that corner on the right hand side of road and end up on the left shoulder on its side . Its an "S" corner that's sharp coming out of it , the weight of the load shifts to the right , then shifts to the left as you exit the second corner , if your a little quick the momentum carries you over to the left shoulder and rearranges the drivers side mirror . The truck configuration of a TANDEM Tractor , a JEEP followed by a TRIAXLE Trailer is about the most unstable combination of axles under a logging truck I have ever driven . The pictures prove my theory .Just curious. Did they determine the cause of that upset? My gut feeling is an oncoming vehicle passing in a curve.
