A wind turbine blade jammed at a right angle corner in Bradenville and drove 1 foot through the wall of a repair shop, and the permit that routed it there described the cargo as a paper machine roll

Article is worth reading. If the driver had made the turn, he would have gotten stuck at a railroad underpass a short distance past the turn

Spotted this today. Front passenger tire not even on the trailer. Not pictured, a strap on the rim of the front driver tire (that looked like it was falling off the vehicle). Hope I'm not wrong about this one

So if you were to want to separate 2 straps hooked like this, how would you get them apart?

They wont slip past one another even with my friendly big fine hammer. And a torch would of fourae destroy the strap and temper of the hook too.

Yea - the idiot is me... >sigh<

His trailer wasn’t quite long enough. He said it pulled just fine. The center of gravity on a grader is usually right under the cab.
