Don't trust "transport" truck drivers
 
This shocked me...

I thought it was a lowered Limited, so i wanted to go check it out. Its actually an AWD Limited that is chained down so tight, the suspension is all the way bottomed out, and the frame is actually bending.

check out the bumpstop completely flattened (actually surrounding the horn on the 2" block)

cab/box separation :eek:

remember the 04-08 frames are crazy strong, I've never seen one bend like this before. Also remember how tough the suspension is, we've seen members load 3000lbs in the bed and still not bottom out the axle on the bumpstop. I can't even imagine how much pressure they have down on the truck.....

What a waste of a beautiful truck. Truck driver must own a chevy...

the only thing i could figure is he was trying to get it to squat to lower the overall profile of the cargo on the trailer

You should of told him that was your truck and that it was coming out of his paycheck.

Tires look a little lower profile than normal too.

:eek: that driver better be payin' for the damage he caused to your truck.

That's insane--I'm sure he heard popping as he tightened 'er down....

You hit 88.Dorped the hydrolics on the back trailer deck.What a shame.

No problem -- before he unchains it he'll just raise the back ramp up a little bit and bend it right back to where it needs to be.....:thumbsup:

:lol:

Holy Crap!

azmidget91 11-10-2011 11:04 AM

the ramps are even bent, I thought it had a flat tire but the ramps are bent down

Patman 11-10-2011 11:20 AM

load ramps are bent, but the tires were deflated as well, so both :lol:
