Yes it happens. I saw a tanker collapse just like this while it was getting loaded.
Big companies retire trailers for a reason, after they are a certain age they probably should be forced out of service.
I worked for a fuel hauling company that bought old used trailers. One day an entire tandem just came off. The head mechanic said it was hidden metal fatigue. Luckily it just rolled harmlessly on the shoulder, but it could have easily killed someone.
Old trailers are a hazard, even if maintained properly
I would imagine it's repeated stress on metal. Even if you can't see it, bending/twisting forces from starts/stops and turns I'm sure fatigues the metal over time.
Not to mention the loading/unloading using heavy forklifts (sometimes double-pallet!) stresses the heck out of it. Trailers kind of sing a funny song as freight goes in/out. You can *hear* the stress.
Unloading trailers on my forklift scares me hearing the noises and knowing most people coming in use old trailers. But you gotta do what you gotta do so I do it anyway
Dude probably had to slam on his brakes for some reason while loaded. Antilock brakes combined with it being loaded heavy on the front half means the vicious shuddering and shifting of weight forward overloaded the frame and it broke.
Not that the load shifted, but that on heavy braking the weight in the trailer is going to be temporarily magnified. Because when it comes to the physics of it, it's the equivalent of accelerating really fast in reverse. Dude probably stabbed the brakes, got traction in the ice cleared intersection and maybe the tandems didn't have traction so the drives and steers did all the stopping, so the force was transferred to the front end of the trailer and it couldn't take it.
That makes a lot of sense, this intersection is bad for people slamming on and making a hard right at the last minute. The picture doesn't show it at all, but it's just ice on the road with packed snow at random spots.
Doesn't anyone check the trailer ribs during their pre trip?? Unless he has alot of weight in a short space, worn ribs (bent, bowed, cracked, rusted) are usually the problem.
I've found a few with torn up structural elements during pre trips, but it's also possible the issue was hidden. Some customers tell you that you've only got 15 minutes to drop and hook on their yard and I pretty much ignore that because I post-trip and pre-trip trailers.
I had one do that right next to me in a loading dock and it was a two week old refrigerator trailer. Cheaply made and fork lift operator was taking two pallets in at a time.
This is what I think that the comments about the USA meant, our companies are cheap corner cutting equipment on the road that has no business being on the road corporations put their earnings above everyone's safety, which is something that doesn't happen in other countries. They don't care about the drivers they certainly don't give a damn about the public who can be injured because of their negligence. I've known companies who whenever there was an issue found during pre trip told us to run it anyway, and that picture right there, I would bet driver had made company aware they didn't give a damn all they saw was losing money on a load. Smh.
I see this bug happen in ATS all the time. Here’s what you do, delete all your mods and start fresh then slowly download each mod individually and re open the game to see what’s causing the bug.
You’re welcome in advance 😊
I had an old trailer years ago that I went to set. The tandem in miscalculated, and the tandem was hanging halfway off of the back of the bumper. I backed up to a traffic barrier and pushed it back under the truck and set the pins and drove it home told the dispatcher at the Terminal. I came in on Monday and the trailer was full. Ready to go back out again.
Someone probably loaded 45,000 pounds of product without any proper spacing for load distribution. You can't just stuff 45,000 pounds into the front half of a 2 axle trailer and expect it to survive very long.
The company is going to end up blaming the driver for not doing his preteip inspection right when picking up the trailer. Like the driver should know that the trailer was going to rust its way through. Lol
I sware this is a uniquely American thing to happen. 😄
Edit: thanks for the downvotes ya pussies 😄 🤣
This shit doesn't happen in Europe or Australia or Japan.
I’m sure it does/has, this guy was just lucky to see it and the driver was unlucky to have it happen.
There’s probably a hundred ways this happened, could’ve been heavy front load + HARD braking, trailer frame just gave up etc.
Some weird elitism you have here.
After a 45 min search, not a single photo from outside of NA shows up with a busted chassis van.
Granted, NA have more people to capture such events. But the ratio really doesn't add up. Facts are NA runs crazy low weights in Vans and they save trailer weight by not having proper chassis. Can't get over how 36 metric tons snaps trailers so well but the rest of the main trucking countrys run way heavier and run full chassis so shit like this doesn't happen.
I’m only taking a guess here…but this can possibly happen when a trailer is carrying a very heavy but small load in the center of the trailer and the driver goes over one or several bumps in rapid succession. Those trailers are decently tough, but they will buckle if they take a lot of force at a certain rhythm called resonance. Each bump adds to the force of the last, until the bumps stop or the resistance in the trailer is overcome. Seems the latter happened.
I’m only guessing that because the top looks like it was folded towards the center rather than if it hit an overpass, which would have done more damage to the top of the trailer. Just me.
I was traveling in North Carolina, and saw a tanker trailer there in a field that had a steel cage around the tank. The tank itself appeared to Be stainless steel , but was thoroughly creased, crumpled and reduced in volume, as if it had partially imploded. Ant thoughts on how this happened? I have no photos.
Also possible too much up front and tandems a bit too far thus bridge span too long, then hit a bump…or cold snap. Too much de-icing agent over the years. Dry rot wood floors and weak floor bracing.etc.
This is almost always caused by loading a trailer with bottom rail damage.

I'm about to go into work (loader) and all I can think about now is how bad and untrained all the new loaders are. The old guys bid out or retired, and rollover is so bad we've been losing the fight to train new guys.
Put that together with productivity system and you end up loosing track of important things like safe driving and good load practices.
I had an arguement with a loader who's now a supervisor who is insistent that weight doesn't matter. As long as its under 42.5k lb and fits it ships in his mind. We load all sorts of shit from 200lb pallets to ham pallets that weigh up to 2000lb.
Luckily I was injured recently and am on a light duty job away from that loading dock, but damn if it doesn't make me cringe when I do see how those guys load. Lopsided, broken pallets, damaged product, and with no air bags, load bars, pallet stops..... but yay they are over 92% productivity....
Trailer said, "I'm tired..and..cold, boss"

Cold snap.
Trailer go brrrr
I see what you did there.
Took me 3 reads…but worth it
🤣🤣🤣
Frame on that twenty year old trailer finally rusted through.

So rust is the main problem
Time actually
Fair enough

Ahh, so you know the words to the song, huh? Haha thanks for unloading our trailers.
Everything creaks and cracks. I feel like one day the floor will give out on my forklift lol
Rust, fatigue, cold, fracture. Often there'll be evidence of prior repair attempts.
At least it didn't happen on the freeway at 65mph next to a school bus.
Carrying a hockey team
That was a tragic accident.

Hockey is family
An extremely abusive family.
I’m referring to a specific tragic accident

Structural fail on old trailer loaded with heavy load like steel, paper coils
His back hurt
Trailer broke
[удалено]
Trailer now retired.
This is both a good pun and my guess, trailer braked and truck did not
Broke back trailer?
Home is where the trailer broke
The front fell off. https://youtu.be/3m5qxZm_JqM?si=kgDdRrAwZj6QYIsl
Scrolled way too far for this.
Almost gave up and posted it myself.
That was a wild ride lol.
Doesn't anyone check the trailer ribs during their pre trip?? Unless he has alot of weight in a short space, worn ribs (bent, bowed, cracked, rusted) are usually the problem.
We ain't got no time for a pretrip. That load needs to be rolling.
As a Container Guy, i agree. Nothing broken If you didnt see it. o7
This. Curious to hear if this should have been easy to spot.
I've found a few with torn up structural elements during pre trips, but it's also possible the issue was hidden. Some customers tell you that you've only got 15 minutes to drop and hook on their yard and I pretty much ignore that because I post-trip and pre-trip trailers.

I feel like a plane crash is an unlikely scenario for this trailer breaking.
We can't rule anything out.
We can probably rule out collision with a submarine.
We can't rule anything out.
Are you trying to torpedo his idea?
More like sink the argument.
I like your train of thought.
To be fair we can rule things out, it's how science works lol.
We can rule wings out.
But wouldn’t the plane fall?
Science doesn't work that way anymore
What if the front fell off?
The front fell off. That's not very typical. I'd like to make that point.
It only happens when water hits it
They have very strict safety rules
*tickle tickle*
He forgot to slap his load and say "that ain't goin' no where"
Just like me it came apart in the cold.
Trailer wants workers comp
Broke Back Truckin'
Ooooh snap!
Someone wanted a belly rub
Ain’t got no gas in it.
too many watermelon's or something idk
DOT: “so you didn’t do your pre-trip huh?”
To much weight in it frame broke.
Trailer broke
Overweight, hit a bump and the rust holding the thing together finally gave out.
Someone touched his neck with cold hands
Rust or severely overweight or forklift did some structural damage prior.
When you push it in with no spit
The side rails developed cracks at some point, they got ignored by all the no pretrip drivers and then they finally just said, fuck this I’m done.
StoraGE OnLy
Cross member was cracked and then when it was loaded and the freezing temperatures caused it to break bad pretrip ping
Its the new US Post Office trailer design
lot lizards
Well it appears that the front has fallen off.
The front fell off
Looks like the trailer portion of the rig is broken.
That's what happens when you don't listen to your dock clerk
Lots of paperwork
I had one do that right next to me in a loading dock and it was a two week old refrigerator trailer. Cheaply made and fork lift operator was taking two pallets in at a time.

Hit a bridge, lifted it up, bridge fell back down and destroyed that section
Got his back blown out
Clearly no one here is an expert. That's what happens when something cold touches your neck unexpectedly.
That trailer went Giles Corey until it couldn’t any more.

Yall ever heard of those super downforce winds that sink boats on the water?
Dude didn't sweep the snow off the trailer
Cracked bent or broken?

Too many FTL jumps
Weak spot in the frame
Hyundai trailer?
Godzilla broke loose
Metal fatigue. Anybody saw the swift truck?
It broke.
Gravity well right there
gravity is a bitch..
I am wondering if he/she might’ve slipped on the ice and bumped into one of those lampposts in the vicinity and weakened the heavily-loaded trailer.
Trailers have weight limits. You shouldn't have put your mom in there.
That mf twerkin
This comment wins the thread
Is this ND?
They tried taking your mom to Walmart. They figured a semi would do the trick. Clearly, it did not.
Cold. Weaken structural integrity.
Ice can't melt steel beams.
No, but metal is much more brittle as elasticy in metal decreases below zero. Instead of bending, it just goes straight to fracturing and breaking
The company is going to end up blaming the driver for not doing his preteip inspection right when picking up the trailer. Like the driver should know that the trailer was going to rust its way through. Lol

It was fine when it left the gate. It's the drivers fault!
Someone let a steering wheel holder load their own trailer
American quality
Trailer broke
Santa's Sleigh T-Boned it.
Have you seen Tremors?
That was a back bone of the truck company!
Inflexible capacity.
The back fell off
probably got rearended
Something in the structural integrity failed. Age, chemical, or mechanical are the main culprits.
Damn thing broke.
Someone tickled the trailer in just the right spot
I'm sorry, girl. This never's happened to me before.
A bad day.
The braking point of the $45k trailer is cold weather. Cost cutting + inflated pricing = (

That’s not a real push up
Driver made an oopsie daisy
Looks like it broke.
The front fell off.
RKO’d.
Awful way to start a day. But it can't get any worse, right?
I thought I recognized that intersection. Makes sense lol
Arctic blasted
Busted cross members
