The event happens in the first 15 seconds of the one minute clip. W were headed north on Oregon 47 south of Gaston. The clip doesn't catch it very well, but the oncoming rig was thinking his half out of the middle.

Clip

ON EDIT: It is very hard to notice, but we both saw it (based on comments)and you could be right about the point of view, my camer is mounted on the windshield in front of the rear-view mirror. e both saw a good wag to the trailer in tow as the truck veered away from the center line.

I watched it hitting pause/play over and over.......

Didn't see much that would have caused me concern.

Perception ?
Is it time for your medication or mine?

No, it didn't catch it very well. I'm not really seeing anything.
Probably your line of sight saw it before the camera caught it.
