It must have been a lazy axle (truckie joke) ha ha

It would be interesting to find out who passed it for rego. That appears to be a major fail.

Pass it for rego? Isn’t that just paying money every year after it’s been initially registered?

Or are trucks better monitored?

They have to go over the pits every two years depending on their build date. In that time they could possibly do 300,000km. This one would not have though being a concrete pump.

It is a 70′s Ford Louisville with a massive amount of weight over the rear axles, thsi vehicle will need to run on an over dimensions permit which can allow them to run higher axle loads. Screwing around on building sites causes axcessive wear even without the extra loads imposed by the pump.

I would say matal fatigue would be the issue which may have not been immediately noticeable at the last inspection, more of a maintinence issue really. Having said that, catastrophic failures such as this can happen with no warnings.

skid marks in the cabin too

I drove past on the opposite side a fair bit earlier, would have been closer to 6:45. There was an axle leaning against a tree near the road. I thought that was a little odd and looked over to see that truck on the island.

I think that you are one roundabout too early! Ronds Pond is not at Anzac Parade.
