I was traveling south bound on I 25 M.P 32 ,loaded with crushed cars weighing close to 84,000 pounds ..everything was going pretty good , then all of the sudden there was a loud explosion , Sending my rig lane to lane , I was fighting the wheel , I finally got my rig back under and over to the shoulder ,looked in the mirror and saw my trailer was a big ball of flame , right away I got my rig away from the trailer , grabbed my fire extinguisher , to put it out , fat chance of that ..... . fire dept just now got it put out , Fire investigators said , I blew out an air bag , causing my load to shift , taking out an air line heating my breaks up , the rest is history now ......

Oil , wood , Grease off the old crushed cars ( we use wood to put the cars on ) was all it took ..... Oil was dripping down on the axle , and when the breaks heated up , so did the oil , got hot enough to catch grease on fire ..... anyhoo thats what the report reads

Every time something f-- up happens to me, I just think of the good story it will make later. Good job handling a messed up situation.

Damn it Spider back on probation for you. J/K
You are a damn fine driver, good job, and I gurantee the fire department in that area are your best friends right now. Fire cheriches runs where they actually get to play in fire. So you made their day!

Just by the spelling of "GuesS" that I knew it was our resident BJ on the road. Where are the pixs of the aftermath to see what all burned? Way to save the rig.

public access was made for folks like you. I think a Dr. Phil type format might be the best idea.

I decide instead of Dr. Phil format it should something like SCI-FI ghost hunter show. But instead of hunting ghosts, you can see if you can find any glory holes. ;D
