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.

When you have big beautiful tow trucks you want to show them off.
When ever something is being towed there is always the chance of the load shifting. Even taking a corner just a bit too fast can cause a trailer to capsize. This driver took a corner too tight and fast and caused the trailer to become unhooked. The result was almost disastrous. Fortunately the Audi SUV it was carrying did not leave the deck and Big Rig Towing used their rotator and spreader bar to to roll the trailer and vehicle back on is rubber.
According to Wikipedia towing is the process of coupling one object to another’s, so that one can be pulled along behind the other. The towing source (lead object) is usually a truck or other motorized land vehicle. The coupling may consist of a chain, rope, bar, integrated platform, or some other means of keeping the two objects together while in motion.
Literally, the hardest thing for any rig operator is to keep the truck on the road once the center of balance gets the least bit off.
Mechanical break downs are inevitable. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from, rich or poor.
