Truck Driver Passed by His Own Trailer

How would it feel to see the trailer you were hauling pass you on the highway?

That’s exactly what happened to one truck driver in Illinois. The trailer disconnected from his truck while driving and and it was all caught on tape by another driver on the road.

Eventually both the truck and the trailer come to a complete stop, on oppose sides of the highway. The truck driver pulls over to the right shoulder and the trailer comes to a halt after grinding along the middle barrier.

Good thing no one was hurt and the trailer didn’t hit any other vehicles.

We hope no truck drivers reading this have to experience anything similar, but we want to know…what would be the first thing going through your mind if you saw your trailer pass you on the road?
