Looks like he "had to go " and forgot to put it in Park at a rest stop.

That type of jostle would have moved a car in the trailer.


I am not rich...but I get off my ass everyday to make sure I am not broke!

Can we get the Mexican cartels to help us with our supply chain issues? They don't seem to have any trouble getting stuff from one place to another.

If that transporter was transporting some of Dana's cars that were in the auction, the driver is really in deep doodoo!

Three to five grand for a wrecker is a safe bet. I'm wondering if the driver had a medical issue. I've seen it to many times before. Older drivers, not in the best shape has a heart attack or stroke in the blink of an eye.

Odds are driver didnt set brake and it rolled downhill

Can only imagine the feeling when u walk out of the potty and see your 200K + truck and cargo sitting in the weeds like that

Parking lot looks pretty level so I doubt the rig rolled away on him.

It’s not level, the pavement slopes downward towards a ditch on the periphery of the rest stop for storm water run off

Yep, it's pretty easy to walk away from a truck without setting the brakes. Happens all of the time.
