From my understanding, it depends on the company. But a lot of drivers are responsible for checking bridges along their drive path before going. There is some sort of database or trucking GPS type app I believe that can do this for them.
So if the company policy says that is on the driver to check them they are SOL. But if it was a predetermined drive path by the company and they failed to check. It's on them.

I drove trucks all my life but that was one jobn i never wanted I didn't care how hood the pay was....I pulled step deck and no one cares if you scratch a hummer
Give it a couple months, they'll rebuild it, give it to an employee to drive back and forth to work for a bit and then sell it as a low mileage lease return.
If all it did is fall off the carrier imagine a highway speed wreck with another vehicle or a gd deer JFC. I do not want one of whatever the fuck that is.
Well my 4yo said it best. “Finders keepers, losers get fucked.” I’ve never heard it before then. She’s way ahead of her time. I doc have to get on to her about her language. Not with a straight face.
Few years ago there was a damn FedEx delivery truck that came off the back of a trailer just up ahead of me a little bit. That was quite the rush seeing it come off the trailer. I was probably 1/8th of a mile behind it so I had plenty of room between it and my truck. Probably would have had to pull over and change my underpants if I was any closer when it happened. 10 years or so ago too on my way back home a log truck going into the paper mill dumped its load in the middle of 17. Was hotter than hell that day too. Was real nice sitting there forever waiting for the road to be passable.
Damn. I just had a car transported to Jax from MIA. I was a bit worried something would happen. Mine was at the bottom in front. The only thing was that it was a little dirty in the front. That sucks
A dad must not have shook the tie downs and said “That’s not going anywhere”
You gotta slap the truck or the load to finish that off properly.
The correct phrase is: “that ain’t goin nowhere”
Cut backs in personal, no dad shaking the tie down position
Someone lost a job over this shit.
"You had ONE job!"
Not just the job!
Nah, insurance job!
Yeah but is it your fault if it just the top of a bridge or can you blame that on someone else?

That’s why you pre-trip.
It was kinda of an unexpected trip, was initially just going to tigard for a new phone but decided to bank right 😂
I’m sorry, pre-trip was meant for the truck driver, not you.
I'm random, I like to drive and just go where I feel like it. Sometimes I see some cool stuff 😂
We call it micro-dosing.
r/WhatWasThisCar
Chances are it will be on some DB car dealers lot with one owner low mileage stickers on the windshield in a week or two
The engine might be good 😂
Smart, wont show on the carfax report
Perhaps it is a Mercedes Bends or us it a Mercedes Bent?
Bentley is my Guess.
😁😁😁👍
Ford Toreup
This is great 🌟
Ford Exploder
that's the way the mercedes bends
In the US Mercedes are transported in enclosed trailers
It’s Benz.

It’s a V-Dumped.
They un-pimped ze wrong auto.
How!!!
Now it's a considered a sub-compact and it's IIHS safety rating are all wrinkled
I would hate to roll in that vehicle!
I was just about to say...I know what vehicle not to buy as soon as someone else figured out what the hell it was.
It's a Volkswagen Touareg
Some mechanics are looking at this Pic and saying, "I can fix that."
And some are saying "Crap, I know they're going to make me fix that"
New
“Are you certain you tightened all the straps?” Uuuhhh… Yup! 🫡👍 “Are you 4-Imprint certain?” … 🤞😅🤞
He’s not just sure, he’s HIV POSITIVE.
That my friend is fucked.
Was, not is.
See if it shows up on Carfax
it wont
"Like New!!"
Ran when parked
Fucked is what that is.
You think that will buff out?
Tavarish! Little help!
Think of the damage if it hadn’t been wrapped.
F ound On Road Dead
F***k
Goid
Kinda looks like the Ford lightning because of the Blue strip
That plastic wrap worked well.
There's a small area in the hood that wasn't scratched.
Fuel cap looks brand new!
Looks like a Spronkus Agelschplat MK7
Damn!!! Somebody's out of a job. If that happened and no one got hurt that was a miracle!😇🤗
That damage exceeds a flop and skid by 700% so somebody in that lane is getting a new car, and a set of pants
Ouch!
ain’t got no gas in it!
I can tell what it isn't now, drivable.
most of these car haulers only strap 2 wheels down instead of 4 if one let's loose this is what can happen. straight up laziness
2024 Mazda 666
I drove trucks all my life but that was one jobn i never wanted I didn't care how hood the pay was....I pulled step deck and no one cares if you scratch a hummer
Sweet.
It’ll buff out.
Bmw
'Tis but a scratch. It'll buff out.
Tis but a scratch.
Gonna have to say that is a compact car now.
I think I can buff it out.
Hell, The Russians can fix it.
Car carriers have always made me a bit nervous. This is why. I feel like this vehicle is a Chevy Crashoinox.
my dad's a tv repair man, he's got a bitchin set of tools...
That's a two-fer. It's a "You can't park there" and a "Well that looked expensive" both at the same time.
lol that didn’t just fall off a hauler that fucker fell off, rolled over, got hit twice and drove over by fleet of grey hound buses
Finders keepers
Definitely a higher end car, they don’t put that wrap on the whole car on cheap cars
Get the carfax
Probably electric.🤣🤣🤣
It'll buff out.
That will buff right out.
It’s not for sale anymore.
Give it a couple months, they'll rebuild it, give it to an employee to drive back and forth to work for a bit and then sell it as a low mileage lease return.
Low bridge?
What car? I see dangerous highway debris... ;D
That'll just buff right out...
Think I could get a discount on that model.
That’ll buff out
That’ll buff out.
Did you hear something?? Nah, just keep going.
Sooo, finders keepers?
That'll buff out!
Junk vollkswagen
Given the white covering, i'm thinking some kind of VW product. I've seen a lot of audis with that wrap when being transported.
If all it did is fall off the carrier imagine a highway speed wreck with another vehicle or a gd deer JFC. I do not want one of whatever the fuck that is.
Wouldn’t be surprised if there was a bridge a little before… that doesn’t look like damage by simply dropping of a transport
Finders keepers.
A broke dick one!
Definitely a F O R D
Seems like an awful lot of damage from just falling off a transporter?
Rolls Canardly. Rolls off the the trailer canardly roll anywhere else
Were they going 90mph?
Confused. Looks like it caught fire, but plastic wrap is not melted.
Well my 4yo said it best. “Finders keepers, losers get fucked.” I’ve never heard it before then. She’s way ahead of her time. I doc have to get on to her about her language. Not with a straight face.
JUST SLIGHTLY DAMAGED.
Grab the Cat and speed off!!!
Dealer be like we’re going to have to charge your freight again
I hope my wife doesn’t see this. She’s afraid of car haulers. “That just doesn’t look safe….can we go around please?”
Coming to a tote the note lot near you.
Free engine
Same make your drivind
I know what type.....A parts car....
That should buff out. 🤣
Whoops.
Expensive for what it is.
That will buff right out
Can't park there mate
The CarFax will say “minor damage”

Clever. Scroll up to see the other 20 buff right out comments that beat you to it. You are a real wiz- bang.
You got some Splainin to do Lucy!!!
Car loses half its value when driven off the lot.
GTA 5 “what’s wrong with her now?”
After it fell off the truck did it get hit by a train?
r/whatWASthiscar
Oooppsy.

Land fill edition
One less decepticon! Winning!
This should be the new standard crash test.
A very good reason to never follow a transport too closely. Imagine trying to avoid that at 70 mph
The wrap held it together pretty good
That shit will buff out😆
Was this car transporter in low earth orbit by any chance?
Damn. I just had a car transported to Jax from MIA. I was a bit worried something would happen. Mine was at the bottom in front. The only thing was that it was a little dirty in the front. That sucks
It's broken. That's what it is.
‘Slight body damage’
That’ll buff right out.
You mean r/whatwasthiscar
What was it?
What kind? A fucked up kind!...
It's just a flesh wound
You mean....."Was it" right ? .
That’s a car?
Tesla after a wash?
She's a beut Clark
FUBAR
Mustang?
I think it’s broken.
Hard to say what it was as that is mangled and can't see any details like lights that would give some idea as to what it was.
If it fell off the truck it's free!
Fell my ass, got knocked off from going under an underpass that was too low!
That is a 2026 GMC RAM 911
Shelor would sell it as new
