Several social media users shared their take on what went wrong in the video clip.

“Expensive rocks. But that’s not the right equipment for that job. That material should never be in that trailer. Don’t bid the job if you don’t have the proper equipment. Yes, the operator could have done it better. But that’s a pretty expensive wrench to be using as a hammer so to speak,” said one user.

“Dump your trailer air bags, too much bounce and movement on rear axles. That’s why it went over. Also rocks in nose of trailer didn’t help. However an experienced driver would not [have] let that many boulders be loaded in the nose,” another person pointed out.

“Looks like maybe cardboard on floor, if that was to help the slide,, compare it to toilet paper for scrubbing love bugs. Either the owner or the driver if he isn’t the same, failed, personally wouldn’t have tried that rock. Waste of decent equipment,” said another user.
