It did, but only really 4 things can cause a rollover....or a combination of them.

1) blown steer tire
2) driver error
3) wind
4) excessive speed

for us....blowing that steer tire is be the worst of them all, the others you can correct for.....like slowing down.

the fire was probably an oil line that split when it rolled over.

shit's still scary though thinking about it.

Looks to me like the Master Chief finally got wise to the Covenant's supply lines. This was no accident, it was a surgical strike.

Crazy shit, there was a accident up here yesterday which was pretty bad and involved a fire also.

I couldn't even tell it had rolled. Looks like the fire just melted the entire cab.

Throttle fixes everything. Love is kissing your rear bumper into a snowbank at 40 mph and not leaving a scratch. If hookers carried active differentials in their purses and knew how to use 'em, I wouldn't be married. Left-foot braking fixes everything the throttle doesn't fix, including impotence and poor self-esteem. Banging off a rev limiter while looking out a car's side window and slamming into a steering stop will cure cancer. If the car isn't moving around under power, you are a small, testicle-free squirrel. The handbrake fixes everything left-foot braking doesn't fix, including philosophical issues with most major religions and the heartbreakingly impossible question of what you should have for dinner*.

it's not as bad as you would think it is when it's loaded. When we're empty it's a little bit stressful, but when we're loaded the truck handles the wind better.

Empty it weighs...35,500, and 15,500 of it is the tractor(semi) and the 20,000 is the trailer.

I guess I might be used to it by now...I dunno.

the show "Trick my Truck" did that once with a '81 International cab-over, most of it was orange, as was the cage. Looked pretty neat.

haha....let's not go THAT far now....I dont think that would've saved that truck, blown turbo oil lines look scary as it is...

i remember seeing a huge black smoke cloud up the highway while i was coming back to work from lunch a couple years back. ended up taking me like 45 minutes to travel 5 miles. turned out that my ex that i had pretty much just broken up with was clipped by a 18-wheeler that couldn't see her, which sent her into a spin, scrubbing all her speed, then she got hit by another 18-wheeler as the dude was trying to stop.. the 2nd truck went into the median and caught fire, and her car flipped over a few times x_x

she's had bad memory loss since then, pretty crappy.
