The back driveshaft came apart and took out the air brake lines to the back two axles of the truck all while on a downhill that was plenty steep. He said he had to jump down into the ground to avoid the bunks and roll away to not get run over.

Pretty scary for sure. Glad he walked away from it. Nice to know the details of why things went wrong.

Any one have any more Saunders truck pictures. I receive a PM from a new member with some pictures and I hope he posts his pictures.

My grandpa Bob Green and my dad Miles both used to work for Roy out in Kitimat.

My grandpa drove truck and my dad was the mechanic.

Would love to see any pictures.
