This happened in front of me this morning. Guess this guy really did need a freightliner to tow his spread axle enclosed trailer...
We have no idea what caused that wreck...could have been any number of things.

I'll just shut up, walk outside and look at my one ton dually and smile. Hope all involved are OK.
Bettin' it was a fairly heavy load and the trailer tried to go around the truck. The guy pulling it either panicked and hit the brakes or didn't know to reach down and grab the trailer brakes.It happened going downhill on I25. It looked to me (I was a few cars back) like it started swaying and couldn’t be saved. Happened pretty quick. He had passed me about 10 miles earlier in town, and got a yellow light that I got red. I had never seen the trailer in our small town and noticed it had some sort of numbers on the side. I was trying to catch him to see if I recognized the number or if there was a name. Glad I wasn’t closer/next to him!
Didn’t look like anyone got hurt, all seemed fine.
Had to do it several times from Paso to Tucson with a loaded trailer like that until I was able to adjust the weight distribution bars and add a away control bar.Yep if you feel it getting squirrelly don't hit the brakes. Use the trailer brake override to engage just the trailer brakes and hit the gas a little if needed.
