    Its a Ford. F-350 or 450 most likely. Automotive transporter here, but we get to drive each car instead. Whoever it was that moved the trailer is going to have a hell of a day. As for the car damaged, those AWD Avengers are hard to come by these days. Owner is about to become a Revenger.

    I saw a similar incident with an empty 40' flatbed gooseneck. Driver chocked 1 wheel, and only behind it on asphalt, and when he disconnected the truck the trailer immediately started sliding on the landing gear, swung nose out to the right, slamming the neck through a plate glass window. It destroyed a couple of desks and computers in the building.

    Newer cars have better structural rigidity, stronger materials aside. A swinging trailer would not cave itself into a car like that especially on level ground. Also if two chockd were used on one side of the trailer, during its rotation, the back set of wheels would have rolled over the chock in front of it slowing its momentum. This looks like potential fraud

    Yeah, there's a lot of oddities with this. No skid marks from landing gear. No dig marks from the truck's hub being drug across the lot either. Tire tracks in the gravel show the trailer was backed straight in despite it obviously being diagonal and no longer in line with the tuck it came in on, and the wheel chocks are perfectly perpendicular to where the axles are resting, which implies gravity took a brief nap or someone relocated the chocks after it slid. This is why it pays to have CCTVs and a DVR on business lots because I'd love to see what _really_ happened. This math ain't mathing.

    That's a dodge. Too bad it's not one of the higher quality ones, because if they have a recall on the damn lug studs, you know the rest of the truck is just waiting to put you on the side of the road. Or in a ditch,or against a tree. The list goes on. My suggestion: ARP makes lug studs that are super strong. Get those installed, and then you have one less problem with the truck. As for the trailer, there's nothing that can be done about that. The car is more than likely getting totaled out, and the owner is gonna be mad. So long as you weren't the person who didn't properly chock the wheels, I doubt you have much to worry about.

    It doesn't take long for surface rust to appear. Probably a week or two and they will look that way

    @@savagedabs8536 Actually I'm starting to doubt parts of the story presented, the part where they chocked one side and it swung the trailer around onto the dodge seems ok, but when exactly did it lose the duals, As they were backing the trailer into the parking area?🤷‍♂

    @bobswrigles8636 The problem is that the chocks were on the wrong side for the way it swung. They would have to be on the inside of the swing, not the outside like they were.
