After reading McGilliCutty's thread on stuck trucks http://forum.zealot.com/t158364/ I felt that I just had to share this that I received in an email from a friend.

Here is a truck driver looking for a job. Know anyone hiring? hamr

According to the person who sent this, the driver has only been in the U.S. a few months. He had missed his turn by Billings MT. And figured he could go over the hill and continue on the road. :genius2:

Apparently he didn't know there were rail tracks on top of the grade which doesn't matter, he'd be stuck anyhow..... :flush1: wall1 wall1

The truck owner figures he had to hit the angle at over 55 miles an hour in order to make the top. :eek: If you look close at some of the pictures you will see that it is only when the trailer pinched the rear tires of the truck that the truck stopped...... :|


I love the second picture that shows the tracks going through the field to get there. What a genius!!! :cry: :cry: :razz: :razz:

Luckily no trains were coming. Wouldn't that be a first, train hits truck, but nowhere near a crossing. :eek: :eek:

Well, I know it's a bit of a 'thing' between USA and Canada, but I think it goes beyond a joke when you start building
tank-traps.

I don't even see how he made it that far! I'd think that the whole rig would have pinched up at the bottom. Incredible! Whuuuuuuuuuut was he thinkin'!!!!!!!!

I can't believe anyone would try driving up a steep hill like that!!! I see telegraph poles...you'd think that might have been a clue to the rails on the top!
