splashprincess 17 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Not quite a typical southerly in Wellington, with a B train blown off the Straitsman this morning approaching Wellington heads. http://www.stuff.co.nz/travel/82204547/truck-goes-overboard-after-breaking-free-on-the-straitsman-ferry It was only the trailers (no cab) and contained frozen pork.

SthnJeff 18 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 How come its just the trailers, do they have a deal where they just ship those now, pick em up with another tractor unit at the other end?
