Default wrecked the dodge today

Well I had an awful day today. I woke up and went to the shop to pick up my dump trailer and noticed that it had a nail in one of the tires and was flat so I went to get that fixed. After that I went to my first job and broke a drive chain on my new skid loader. So I decided to take it to the dealership where I bought it to get it fixed under warranty work thinking my problems for the day were over. I started unloading it on the only spot in the parking lot I could fit and when I got the loader to the back of the dump trailer the rear axle of my 2500 lifted off the ground. My truck and trailer took off with me on the loader still on the trailer. Right before my truck smashed into a truck on the lot I managed to drive the loader off the back of the trailer causing the truck/trailer to jacknife sending the front of the trailer into the side of my truck bed. I managed to get away in time without getting hurt but the truck is looking a little sad. And with a previous wreck on my last truck I can't turn this into insurance but luckily it was only 2500 in damaged to the truck. The trailer I can care less about but for the next week or two my truck is bumperless with a bedside crushed in and acracked wheel. Needless to say, careless mistakes can make a bad day a whole lot worse. Just felt like I needed to vent a little.

Wow! You were one lucky soul. That could have been disasterous. Was your truck at a different angle to the trailer than normal? When you loaded the tractor on the trailer did it lift the truck off the ground then? Weird...

I know a guy who bought a brand new Ford F350 King Ranch and forgot to latch his gooseneck. Unloaded the tractor and the trailer smashed the bed, and the neck went through the cab of the truck. Said he only had it about 4 days.
