cfarm, this was a high speed deal, I was in the low side, so probably around 15 mph. lol
It did seem like it sped up once the first wheel dropped off the road. lol
And I might as well laugh about it, crying would not help anyway. This type of thing is a matter of when, not if anyway, it is just a matter of staying ahead in the game.

We all get those days, they're sucks  but part of the game.   You made it out there ok and you can tell the story, that's all what matters.

Wondered what kinda truck you're talking about, so I went to your gallery and couldn't find a pic.

Would be interesting to see how you get her back up again.
Make sure you know how to fall properly when you fall and as to not hurt anyone around you.
Also remember, it's not the fall what hurts, its the sudden stop. !!

didn't happen, no pictures!

Glad you are OK,

I have run the road called the ice road on TV for several years, but that is in my freight truck, actually run some real ice roads too. lol

I don't do pictures, but apparently my son put 19 pictures of my crippled truck on face book and I have been getting calls from all over the country.

My log truck is what I have always called a western long log rig. It just pulls a traler with a set of bunks and extendable reach, hauling (or trying) to haul 53 footers at the time.
