[AT] New truck

[Grant Brians]

Danny, jack-Knifing a truck is no fun! I had that happen this year with a 
pickup pulling a trailer load of irrigation pipe, damaging the truck, 
trailer and a few pieces of the irrigation pipe. The scary part is that I 
was traveling at only 25mph and had a tire blow out.... Had it happened 100 
feet earlier I would have gone over an embankment of 20-25 feet and if it 
had happened a half mile earlier I could have gone down a cliff or over 100 
feet. Glad you are fine.
