Randomly flipped over.
After an hour into a drive, I was going down a highway. A heavy-cargo load.
Out of nowhere, my truck flipped over during a WoT contract. I had to abandon the contract to get towed. There was no reason for me to flip over, my truck just decided to do that going straight on a highway.

This is the 2nd time I flipped over within just a few days, and it is extremely frustrating.

Is there anyway to fix being flipped over without being forced to abandon contracts on WoT?

The more interesting question is why did it flip over. Because I only see three possibilities for that:
- Cornering too fast - you wrote it happened on a straight
- Hitting an (invisible) obstacle or badly executed road element link. Do you have any map or building / company mods active?
- A car spawning under you, also can only happen on badly executed road element links that the game considers to be end of a road stub and therefore could only happen with an according mod.

By the way, what truck do you drive? Vanilla or mod?
An extra question:
- The 2 times it happened was the same cargo and/or in the same place?

That happen to me as well but on ETS2, right before toll booth in Austria. I ended up other side of the fence. Went to try to replicate the problem again, no luck. It can be a rare glitch in the game, best to have highlight video from recording from gpu recording software.

I had no mods on. Vanilla game. Turning too fast probably happened the first flip-over, but I had done much worse previously and had no issues.

Only similarity is that it was heavy cargo DLC. Different type of cargo, different truck and different location. First one was in the Northern Washington, and second was North of Provo in Utah. Going North.

Even if i dont believe what i write now...
But Maybe your Cargo was faster then your truck and pushed it which caused the flip.

At least the pushing bit can happen with extrem heavy stuff when it goes down Hill.

I have never flipped a truck unless I did something

Strange but I do believe that it's a glitch in the program as I too flipped over while I was slowly backing up with trailer and just skimmed a curb with the trailer. I had overhead camera mode on and watched the whole thing happen from above. Rather comical, and went ahead and reloaded from last saved game. But if it's reported here regularly happening, I'd say there is a problem.

Twice isn't regularly.
