[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1813862, member: 42463"] I was towing a rented 40 foot gravel conveyor through downtown Denver on the freeway when the ball came loose. I'd checked that ball forty miles back, but it came off. Had a choice to try to get in front of it and stop it with my bumper or get behind to warn approaching traffic. I opted for getting behind and started weaving back and forth with emergency flashers going. Watch the conveyor go into a guard rail and shorten itself about four feet, and one of the tires launch as the hub broke free from the axle. Never did find it. Nobody hurt, so better that some possible outcomes. Also had an open top livestock trailer come loose at slow speed. My fault. The trailer went off the road and hit the ditch and the cow inside jumped the front of the trailer as she was thrown forward. A corral right there so I hitched the trailer up properly and reloaded... no harm, no foul. I use safety chains. [/QUOTE]
