I know we already have this topic on here, but I would like to compile a list of all rollovers. There was another serious event at WB DC recently.

(1) Where did it happen.
(2) Approx. When did it happen.
(3) DC the vehicle had collected load from.
(4) Cause of the rollover. ( if known )

Please include as many parts of the above list that you can.
Please do not make guesses, or wild comments.
I will be ruthless in my moderating of this topic.
Thank you in advance for your information.

What I was hoping to do here was compile a list of rollovers. It appears to be an above average number of rollovers, if this is the case then this list could be useful information to an accused driver. Please just enter the known data.

dont know what depot (was not a fridge)as i had to divert but in harlow yesterday evening on A414, the unit had come away from the unit leaving a very sorry looking trailor kissing the tarmac. Anyone know?

"when its gone its gone"

danny ocean

wigig, heard it was a thurrock going to "church langley".

D.Ocean

"twelve is the new eleven"

dilweed

Nope-it was a Harlow on route back to depot.

Biffer

It was one of those pesky 10m rear steers on route back to Harlow.
Rumour has it that it wasn't the obligitory " double click" problem.

Always up....
Never down.
( not on my knees anyway)

Another roll over for Midd Comp last week. Details are sketchy to say the least, but it was allegedly a low speed rollover on an adverse camber roundabout. Driver OK, but he had recently been given a start full time coming from agency. [:I]

Operational Requirements my a**e

Been some sort of incident tonite with a didcot on route back to didcot dc on milton interchange.

erm.

One at Doncaster last tuesday morning 8th Nov.
Driver ok - no other vehicles involved.

The Mrs

Not a rollover but I heard that a Thurrock vehicle had its trailer disconnect from the unit in the middle of Lewisham High Street on Wednesday.

Anyone got any details about a Weybridge truck writing off customer cars in the Bursledon Store car park?
Or the two Weybridge drivers who collided in their yard?
Or the Weybridge driver that had trouble on the roundabout at the entrance to the estate?

A Ralph Davis driver tried to make a new bay door through a wall in the side of the Southampton warehouse this week.

>:D  ;D
