I was driving to work today, and a cop’s SUV was pulled over behind a dump truck.
The dump truck was a 10-wheeler, with double-wheels on the back, so 6 outside tires, total.
Right in front of each of the six outside wheels was an object. It was basically a metal plate, about 24 inches long, and 10 inches wide. It was flat for most of its length, and then the last 10 inches, was a “box”. It was about 3 inches high, and extended from side to side.
These weren’t chucks, placed to stop the truck from rolling. The objects were laid to the side, with the raised box outside the line of the tires. If the truck rolled forward, it just would have rolled over the plate part, and the plates were probably only 1/4" thick. Also, they had a shinier disk on the top of the box.
Any idea what these were? This was on the side of I-95.
