I saw a 60's something grain truck loaded with wheat plow into the back of another grain truck loaded with wheat one time. Had a grand stand view because i was in a truck doing 55 or so about 100 feet away meeting them on a two lane. There was a big WHUMP, the wheat in the back truck flew up over the cab, and they were past me. I looked in the mirror and all I saw was two trucks locked together, smoke and steam and wheat spread out over the road. I couldn't see them coming from very far ahead because I was following an oversized load and I was pulling oversized too.

It made me much more aware of what bad brakes can do to a person in a tight situation.
