Sweet fucking Jesus H Christ. Driving along the expressway into the Bronx across The Whitestone Bridge when suddenly truck and trailer go squirrley and the shantyboat overtakes the truck and bashes against the tailgate before pitching violently forward. Do an immediate oh shit stop. What the fucking hell just happened? Cars swerving around me I got out and the hitch has failed and released the ball. So I chok the wheels of the shantyboat, pull the truck forward enough to release the chains and the electrical, use the bumper jack to jack the trailer back up, and realign the truck and ball miraculously on the first try under the hitch, cars swerving around me, sweating violently, Lower the trailer back on the hitch, Reconnect emergency chains and electrical, and managed to weave back through traffic and back on my way. Perhaps time for a new hitch? #HighwayTerror #NewYorkHighways #Shantyboat #InSituRepairs
