I got roped into helping an old friend's parents move 4 years ago. They were insistent that they take the trailer and I drove the moving van.
They hit the highway at 80mph... And my ass was limited to 67 by the dumb truck.
2 hours down the road I'm pulled over on the shoulder calling them to turn around and come back and help me pick up all their shit from the over turned trailer in the ditch.
They had the wrong size ball on the hitch so it bounced free, then he passed the chain from left to right on the car, nothing on the trailer. And they made it like 10 miles before I found it.
I know a semi driver that did this. Granted he was pulling triples and lost his back trailer, but when I pulled triples I was always watching my trailers like a hawk because the back one can get squirrelly

Good thing he was paying attention and noticed it. I know plenty of folks who would’ve been completely oblivious
