Glad to hear everyone is okay.
Also glad to hear you made out well with the insurance company.

I was just going over a small bridge overpass but there was just a slight bump going onto the bridge and I'm wondering if maybe it was enough to just get the back tires on the truck to lose traction and it just went south from there. It's about the best explanation I've come up with so far.

This may not have happened with a fifth wheel in tow, being weight is applied directly to the rear axle of the tow vehicle, as opposed to a weight distribution hitch, which applied weight to the front axle of the tow vehicle.

I am now second guessing myself as if this and that bridge bump caused the weight on the front end to lift the rear of the truck just enough to lose traction and cause the skid. I don't know, but it's just a theory that I've come up with.

I believe you're correct.
