Wild unloading fail video proves just how strong a truck's kingpin is

Published:

A truck driver captured video of trailer dump that went way, way wrong — but at the same time proved just how strong a truck’s kingpin is.

The video was shared by YouTube user Matthew Benson on October 21, 2023.

The video features a truck that didn’t get unhooked from the trailer before the tipper was engaged to unload the trailer contents. The truck is left hanging in the air supported only by the kingpin and fifth wheel as workers look on, flabbergasted.

As the video ends, the driver filming says simply, “That’s a good kingpin.”
