| The number of trailers with blow outs the OP mentions reminds me of a business trip I made back in the late 90s. Traveling from Marquette, MI to Kalamazoo in late November, it was incredible how many trucks, make shift campers, old school buses, etc. I saw on the shoulder, in the ditch. It was a few days after the opening of the 15 day deer season and the 'trolls' from lower Michigan were going home from hunting in the U.P. They drove trucks and other vehicles you and I wouldn't drive across a WalMart parking lot hundreds of miles. At least half a dozen on their side in the ditches, assuming major tire failure or suspension, some just vehicle, others with trailer/camper attached. Maybe 30 on the shoulder, many with tires that looked like they blew up. The carnage started 50 miles west of the bridge in the U.P. and continued down I-75 for at least 40 miles. Two of the vehicles, including one in the ditch on its side, were old bread trucks, designed to haul bread and other stuff around town.
Looked like something out of a Mad Max movie. | |
