When it comes to trucking news, we generally focus on covering events on this side of the world. But the following story is so ridiculous, you have to see it to believe it. Thankfully, you can, because it was recorded on video.
A truck driver in Jingdezhen, China was stopped after an officer noticed it swaying erratically on a highway. After pulling the vehicle over, it became apparent why — the cab of the truck had no wheels.
According to the South China Morning Post, the driver got into an accident in a nearby province, which caused significant damage to his front axle. Fearing that a repair in the area would be too costly, the driver decided to take the wheels off and drive home, where he could get it fixed a lot cheaper.
The driver was cited and received a fine for operating the damaged vehicle. Police also escorted him to a repair shop before letting him go.
