A qld subbie picked up his B-Double after we loaded it, he done a pickup in the A trailer and hooked up to his B. Drove through the yard (about 6oom) and as he got out the gate the b trailer came loose and dropped on the road on a 45' angle and blocked the whole road : . Long story short it took 3 hours & a 1oo ton crane to get it moved.

Last week we loaded another subbie to s.a who was in a brand new B-Double, he was 5 min from our depo and somehow jack knifed the lot and wrote off a brand new prime mover.

woah, i would never have guessed the ute would bend in half if I had to predict what would happen. I would have said just a loud clang, some wiplash and a very bent A frame.
