Watch the world’s slowest rollover as it happens
Published: February 6, 2025 ByWimberly Patton
A semi truck was caught on traffic cam in one of the slowest rollover crashes we’ve ever seen. The clip was filmed at an intersection on SR 6 northbound at Garrett Road in Georgia. In the video, the semi truck takes a wide left and then appears to experience a load shift, sending it tipping to the right. After a while, several cars stop to check on the driver, who seems to be okay. “One of the reasons I hated pulling containers when I had to. Sealed container, never know how it’s loaded inside,” wrote one commenter. “That was not a load shift. I know because I have pulled a lot of them containers. That’s a stupid driver. When you turn a corner like that, you’ve got to go real slow,” added another. Watch the video and decide for yourself below.

ARE FANCY COMPANY TRUCKS AROUND ANY MORE?
There used to be fancy company trucks on the road. In years past it seems it has turned to more fuel efficient and aerodynamic trucks on the road. Which only makes sense for making more revenue. Although there are a few companies left that lure in drivers with the BIG Fancy rides. Heres a few I can think of and I’m sure theres more so lets talk about them.

2- FIRST CLASS SERVICES
About Us
It is not surprising that Randy Stroup named his trucking company First Class Services. “The caliber of service we provide our customers absolutely separates us from our competition,” Stroup said.
A third-generation trucker, Stroup, president and CEO of First Class Services, Inc. of Lewisport, Kentucky, took to the road as a teenager and later gained valuable experience transporting commercial jet engines for David Hodgeman’s Southern Pride Trucking Company, Inc., based in San Diego, California.
In 1989 Stroup, parlaying his know-how and from-the-bootstraps-business acumen, started up what has become one of the more highly regarded trucking companies in America. “We transferred David Hodgeman’s customer service principles to the tank industry,” Stroup said.
First Class Services, whose core business is liquid and dry bulk commodities, has an exceptionally committed home office staff and a dedicated group of over-the-road regional and local drivers. According to Stroup’s operating philosophy, we prefer to hire the right people first and grow our company around them.
First Class Services customers know that Stroup’s commitment to his profession — which had its genesis when he was transporting those jet engines from San Diego to Miami — works wonders for them. “Customer satisfaction is the keystone to any successful business,” Stroup said. “When I was driving, the pressure on me was more physical. As an owner, I am more involved with the decision-making process.”
“But I love those day-to-day challenges, and I treasure the testimonial letters and personal words of gratitude we receive from our customers. As I said before, it all boils down to our caliber of service.”
It is hard to imagine any other trucking firm with the experience, capacity, and safety record to match First Class Services’ performance in transporting hazardous materials and other commodities. Delivering our customers’ products safely and on time will always be a priority at First Class Services. It is equally hard to imagine any business caring more for its customers than First Class Services, Inc. Efficient management of its fleet also enables First Class Services to provide outstanding service at very competitive rates.
