No picture but I saw a good (bad) one yesterday.
Bubba is standing by the door of his tractor and side dump in the right lane at a light. A service truck is next to him in the left lane, preparing to bail Bubba's ass out. Lucky for all there is a 3rd lane on Canyon road for all the traffic to squeeze by.
It has been raining like hell and dirt work is halted all over.
Bubba, can you haul a load of scrap steel in your side dump? Sure I need something.
What he had was a load of all sorts of crap with what looked like single rail car wheels along the top edge. One of them came forward and fell out next to Bubba's door and luckily did not smash a car when he stopped for the light.

I did see this load a little earlier. I have only messed with crane tracks that load flat, without the sliding beams.

I was surprised how the bed was attached. Or perhaps, not attached to the chassis.

Looks like they may have to put the SUV on another one and get another tow vehicle!

I see rigs like that come southbound through Texas. They are all headed for Mexico. You can usually find some kind of Mexican dealer plate on one of them.

That's a tow truck on the front of there, I'm going to bet the original tow vehicle broke down, and they are getting it out of the road.
The wheel lift is up, so I don't know how the trailer is hooked up. It could be on the boom, there may be a short hitch on the bottom of the wheel lift. I think this is coming from a accident.

The trailer has the fancy looking wheels that aren't nearly as strong as plain steel wheels too.
