Question

What will happen to a trackter trialer going 60 mph carring a steel brige support when it stop allof a sudden?

Answer 1

This happened many years ago in the small town where I grew up.  The driver stopped suddenly and a steel beam flew forward into the cab, killing him instantly.

Answer 2

there are too many potential things that can happen to list, worst being the load seperates from the truck and kills someone, to nothing cuz the driver did a good job of securing the load and the vehicle comes to a stop.  No doubt a few flat spots on the tires from skidding, lots of pretty blue smoke, and a driver who's heart rate skyrocketed.  Been there, done that, no fun at all.

Answer 3

A lot of tire smoke first, possible jack-knife, possible loss of the load, possible death to the driver and or other people or nothing if the driver handles the truck correctly.

Answer 4

It would take at least 100 feet to stop.
