Thank heaven above that you, horses and everyone else escaped unharmed. Stories like yours should be reality checks for all of us. Even with my brakes functioning, I probably would have plowed right through the car that stopped in front, weight alone would push my truck with the brakes smokin'. (22,500 lbs is what our rig, horses, truck, water, fully loaded weighs.) You're right, It doesn't stop on a dime, and even if it could, I wouldn't want to throw my horses around. I'm grateful everyone is OK, and that you were able to find the problem before you head out again. Very scary.

I, too, have US Rider coverage.? And, I have had to use it. I cannot say enough good about them - when I broke down on I-95 and called them, they answered as...
