Grain Dust Can Explode

saving the grain big rig towingIt’s a well-known fact that grain dust can explode. That’s why you have to be extremely careful when transporting and transferring any grain from one place to another.

This truck was loaded with grain when it went off the road and got stuck. Its contents had to be transferred to another truck before it could be towed out of the ditch.

You can see by the cloud of grain dust that Big Rig Towing had to be very careful with this tow and recovery.

Down Like a Sack of Potatoes

There really isn’t much you can do when your trailer literally rips in half. You just got to call for a tow and start picking up the pieces.

This truck had 80.000lbs of Potatoes on it when it broke in half. The contents were laboriously loaded onto another trailer for delivery before the two halves could be craned from the scene by Big Rig Towing.

This scene reminds me of an old Harry Chapin song involving Scranton, Pennsylvania and another load of ill-fated goods. I think in that case it was bananas.

Flip This House

This recovery was a little different than most.

When half a house comes off the back of a rig it could be a recipe for disaster. Fortunately no one was living in the house at the time of this accident and the half a home ended up in the ditch not on top of a following car.

That did not make the recovery any easier as the structure had to be tilted upright and then craned back onto a flat deck for transport.

Lucky for the owners Big Rig Towing trains specifically for these odd scenarios and was ready with the equipment needed to do the job.
